In the photo you can see several (three) dancers moving around the room. The photo has recorded the strong movements. The room in which the dancers are located, is designed completely black and lit only from above with a spotlight.

»Are organisms just algorithms, and is life really just data processing?«
- Yuval Noah Harari from Homo Deus


The Anti-Body project uncovers new creative possibilities in dance, visual arts and technology collaboration, exploring original forms of dance performance and new ways to meaningfully connect with audiences. In 2022 AWDC will create an interactive digital version of the stage work using 3D animation that can be presented as an online event for VR headsets and which will provide content for our Virtual Dance Studio, a digital learning programme aimed at secondary school students.

Duration: about 60 minutes

»The relationship between the technology and the dance creates a new dimension, a shimmering world of light and shadow when nothing is quite what it seems...Whitley is mining a largely untapped seam of ideas, establishing and exploring his concept of digitally built dance.« – londondance.com (on Pattern Recognition)

»Whitley discovers a new way of designing contemporary dance which offers boundless, exciting opportunities for the future.« – Broadwayworld.com
