Summoning the ghosts of dance spectatorship. in situ.
Circle in Box examines microperceptual modes of engagement in choreography.
Methods of affective and sensorial activation are tested to provoke acts of spectatorship. The trajectory of this performance event navigates empathic and kinesthetic modes of attunement. Circle in Box offers an immersive experience for participants, modulating the network of slowing, stilling, listening and co-presence.
Circle in Box was developed in 2013 towards the completion of a Masters in Creative and Performing Arts (Dance) at the University of Auckland.
