When movement becomes visual art.
Artists: Joel Bray, Zoë Croggon, Anne Ferran, John McCormick & Adam Nash, Sally Smart, Leyla Stevens, Anne Scott Wilson
The practice of Dance is multi-dimensional. It crosses many mediums, cultural contexts, locations and forms. Beyond the Ballerina looks at dance through the visual arts, taking the artform out of the theatre and off the stage, placing it in the gallery, seen through the eyes of visual artists.
Eight artists, working across diverse media, explore the future of dance as it merges with ritual, landscape, and technology. Through collaboration with dancers—and using photography, video, virtual reality, augmented reality, and 3D video—they challenge our understanding of what dance is, where it can be experienced, and how we engage with it.
