Where We Meet is an interactive, audio-based dance installation where audiences can experience the inner thoughts of a dancer. This piece aims to open up the conversation about mental health and wellbeing and break down taboos by facilitating an empathetic and intimate experience. As audiences walk around the space and choose which performers to engage with, innovative location-tracking technology will trigger unique audio monologues and enable personal interactions with solo dancers.
Initiated at Dansathon 2021 (a hackathon combining dance and new technologies), Where We Meet was awarded “Best Project” by the Jury with a monetary prize from BNP Paribas Foundation.
The project is funded by BNP Paribas Foundation and co-organised by la Maison de la Danse de Lyon, Sadler’s Wells in London and le Theatre de Liège.
