Direct Interactions with Moving Spaces

This project took part in two stages: There was an initial research project that took place at Chisenhale Dance Space with dancers: Charlie Morrissey, Scott Smith, Lindsey Butcher and Fin Walker and interior architect Rob Hopper. Arnolfini then commissioned a performance with Charlie Morrissey, Scott Smith and Rob Hopper.

This piece partly grew from Charlie’s work with Sean Curley on Because You Have To. Again it explored creating a space that might feature as much as the movement that took place within it – that might even define aspects of the movement that could take place within it.

Rob Hopper created an interactive installation of bamboo canes of differing sizes suspended from the ceiling with light bulbs suspended in amongst them. They created a landscape that the performers navigated.
