Dancesync: revealing the involuntary synchronisation between the body and environment
Retail & Leisure Environments

My work has focused on being the artistic director for a dance performance exploring the relationship between internal and external rhythms. The bodymind is designed to strive towards harmony with the vibrations of the surrounding environment. Brains do not have an overall selective electrochemical function to control equilibrium, rather they synchronise to whatever rhythmic source they are exposed to. A ‘dansync’ body moves, not only consciously, but also unconsciously controlled by the sound output. Feedback from the dancer’s breathing, projected in real time, is reminiscent of a ‘biological’ VJ synchronizing to the music. We are a consequence of external rhythms and also generate internal ones in the way we breathe and pulse. The proposed performance environment reveals the involuntary connection between the two vibrating realms - inside and outside of the body.
