Does free will exist?
Splice
In 2023, the second development focused on improving the interactive technology created in the pilot and developing a short dance work entitled Splice.
Delving further into the themes of choices and autonomy, in Splice, we explore the idea of the multiverse of infinite possibilities, only one of which we bring into existence through the choices we make, creating our reality. An individual’s narrative is embodied in the collective as we explore the influence we have on each other.
In 2024, Splice was presented as a full-length work in a model of dance and discussion designed to build networks to navigate life's choices.
Technical development
Working with Nick Stark, the second phase of technical development upgrades the motion sensing technology with custom wearable devices that enhance the interactive possibilities with the dancer and visual display.
