Video design on a gravity defying vertical dance show
Substratum is an ambitious collaboration between Full Tilt Aerial and Limbic Cinema that sought to push the boundaries of dance and moving image. We wanted to transport audiences to new worlds and as a result explored ways in which we could shift the public’s perception of three dimensional space. By augmenting the projections with the choreography we were able to encourage the audience to see beyond the building and get lost in the worlds we had imagined.
Substratum was created following a collaborative research project investigating the immersive and illusory potential of projection mapping and vertical dance to create outdoor augmented reality experiences for audiences and engaging the spectator into a virtual theatrical performance.
