Sensing Bodies is a high-tech audiovisual experience and the result of a unique collaboration between choreographers Jasper van Luijk and Ruben Chi

In Pushing Waves, the digital sound frequency of a moving body takes center stage. The dancer, armed with advanced directional microphones, directly influences the sound score being created at that moment by composer and sound artist Tom van Wee. Jasper van Luijk on Pushing Waves: 'Sound is movement, and every movement causes sound. Tom van Wee transforms a simple breath into a 3D sound journey and a footstep into an overwhelming beat. I am curious to see which boundaries we can push in creating sound with our bodies.'

A duet between dance and artificial intelligence (AI). In Transcendance, Ruben Chi and artist Bob Sizoo join forces to explore boundary-pushing communication between humans, nature, and machine through dance and virtual reality. The dancer engages in a duet with a digitally optimized version of themselves, created via artificial intelligence. A version that transcends human limitations and is not bound by fixed contours or restrictions.

“Door de AI alle benodigde ingrediënten te geven voor beweging en een aftastend spel van leiden en volgen te ensceneren, stellen Chi en Sizoo praktische maar filosofische vragen over fysicaliteit, waarneming en immersie.”
