Hinterlands - with Pell Ensemble @Arnolfini Bristol [Mixed Reality live performance]
Inspired by microorganisms called extremophiles that live on the edge of habitability, in some of earth’s most inhospitable environments, Hinterlands is a mixed reality headset experience on the speculative futures of human evolution. Movement, spatial sound and augmented reality come together to create a space that unfolds differently for you and the dancers. Through an invitation to move, you will explore our entanglement with the natural and digital world and our possibilities for surviving, evolving and becoming.
Hinterlands is a concept created and directed by Choreographer Rebecca Evans (Pell Ensemble) in collaboration with Creative Technologists Clemence Debaig of Unwired Studio, Alexander MacKinnon, Dancers Ania Varez,, Jan-Ming, and Anna Kaszuba, Sound Artist Christian Duka, Dramaturg Joanne Skapinker, Intimacy and Consent coordinator Mira Loew and fellow MaVR student Jon Higgins. Mentoring and support from Alexander Whitely and Naomi Smyth.
With support from UWE Bristol, Knowle West Media Centre, The Studio and supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
