A.I.D. @ Red Stair Amphitheatre
A.I.D. @ Red Stair Amphitheatre was the pilot of a soft touring series of works called ____@____ where partner organisations and individuals are invited to create a new work for the series, each with a new performance site and cast of dancers responding live to the A.I.D. system.
On Friday 11 February 2022, we performed A.I.D. at the public space surrounding the Red Stair Amphitheatre in Southbank Melbourne. Featuring 12 dancers performing across 1.5 hours, this iteration of A.I.D. was a socio-choreographic experiment and improvised dance intervention for public space. Dancers responded to real time instructions generated by the A.I.D. ONLINE system delivered through discreet earpieces, to celebrate spontaneous public performance and impart a sense of collective consciousness.
