Stereoscopic dance installation

SIZE OF COMPANY

SCALE OF VENUE
Small

Artistic Director
Billie Cowie

ARTISTIC POLICY
Billy Cowie has been working on a series of groundbreaking stereoscopic dance installations that bring projected dancers down from the screen and into the viewer’s space. This allows the spectator a close-up and intimate experience of the choreography, while maintaining the corporeal presence and physicality of a live performance. Suitable for installation in art galleries or in conjunction with live dance performances and festivals, the works are scaleable from very small to very large.
