Vibes#2

Vibes#2 is a connected dance experience for around 50 amateur and professional dancers. Equipped with headphones, participants improvise their dance together, to Morph's epic music and Nach's audio-guidance.

After a training phase, participants experiment with the basics of Krump: capturing energy from the ground by striking it with the foot with the stomp, projecting energy around oneself with the chest-pop, capturing and projecting balls of energy with the arm swing. The ritual takes place in the third phase. Each participant is given a role: the soloist performs, with the encouragement of the hypers, who accompany him or her by gesture or voice. The collective energy builds step by step until the final battle.

The music sets a pulse that drives all the dancers. Like an arcade video game, actions are performed in time to the beat. Sound entities gravitate around the dancers, driving the rotation of bodies or the gestures of catching or throwing. Spatialized sound techniques contribute to the development of this playful, immersive dimension.
