The Dance Dome is a portable 360° cinema that blurs the boundaries between movement, digital technology and cinema, wrapping dance around the viewer to create a truly immersive experience. It is touring across Wales, thanks to the support of the Arts Council of Wales.
The Dance Dome’s 2014 tour features two additional productions, Harnish Lacey Dance Theatre’s The Sublime, which is a site-specific live captured sequence of parkour and break dance short, and TaikaBox’s The Beautiful; an immersive metaphysical journey through some of the landscapes of South Wales, featuring gravity defying dance from Laura Moy.
“This unique programme will push the boundaries for both digital technology and contemporary dance. By using a portable dome, Coreo Cymru in Colllaboration with 4π Productions (and Earthfall) are introducing a new from of presenting contemporary dance to the wider public.”
