The Audience Never Performs

The space where live performances happen is usually divided: artists and audiences stay apart and are rarely brought directly together, much less asked to interact. The stage isn’t just sacred: it is prohibited. As such, audiences usually remain passive observers, and the performers the object of their fetishistic gaze. Let’s try and bridge that gap. Centered on one dancer, this collaborative, multi-sourced dance video is based on interconnectivity, collectiveness, and the participating audience’s own smartphones and spontaneity.
