Loop Theory

Performed at The Substation (Singapore), 2011

Loop Theory is an interactive dance performance that explores the notion of feedback, and uses technology as a platform for experimentation.

Sound is dynamically and unpredictably created throughout the performance. Using motion sensor technology, the performers trigger and create sound by their movements, and will, at the same time, perform and respond to the sound they create.

This performance undermines and reinforces the primacy of sound in dance. The sound loop is further extended by including the audience, who will be asked to participate and decide on certain elements of the performance, influencing the outcome of the music, and in turn, influencing the outcome of the choreography.
