Boundless Body

Boundless Body allows the audience to step away from the all too distracting cacophony of spoken words into a sensory haven created by neurodivergent artists. We invite you into the visceral sphere of someone who processes the world through their creative means, in the hope that we can experience one another's uniqueness. A multi-layered dance performance utilising the body's movement to conduct the sounds, projection and lights through Somi 1 technology. This piece will take us into a transcendental space; unifying dance, vocals, costume, technology and music. Sophisticated sensors strategically attached to the arms and legs capture XYZ positional data, allowing for precise generation and sculpting of sound in real time. The audio landscape is crafted through a careful blend of several elements, including texture, emotional resonance, narrative depth, dynamic range, and the artist's muscle memory. The soundscapes emerge from the vocals of Elizabeth Arifien, combined with a variety of sound effects and innovative guitar manipulations, creating a rich auditory experience that transforms physical movement into an expressive sonic journey composed by Robert Lye and sound design by Derek Szato. The performance includes live motion capture projection and a surround sound experience.
