Show Visuals

Reactive real-time visualisation through dance

Directly echoing the dance onstage, Clemens' visual projections are a reactive accompaniment generated through three dimensional scans, translating the expressive forms and gestures of the dancers into abstractions of motion.

We glimpse these apparitions as spirit-like echoes, extending beyond and outside the physical of the body, flooding the stage in radiant, vibrating chords of colour that render an inner emotional world large, exposed and brilliant.
