Counterfeit is an ambitious, site-responsive dance experiment expanding on the provocative choreographic universe established by Alisdair Macindoe’s acclaimed work, Plagiary. In this new work, eighteen performers from local dance company Dance Makers Collective’s Future Makers respond in real-time to the directives of an AI “choreographer”, directives that audiences can themselves peek into by scanning the dancers via a QR code printed on their futuristic workwear.

Counterfeit transforms Bankstown Arts Centre into a living experiment in creative authorship and collective invention. Audiences are invited into the machine driving the dancers, calling into question who is in charge—people or computers? Counterfeit invites you to witness, question, and participate in a dance performance living within the uniquely thrilling intersection of art and AI.
