A Dancing Experiment | VR180 | National Gallery
In this video, choreographer Tony Adigun has created a VR180 dance inspired by Joseph Wright ‘of Derby’s painting ‘An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump’ in Room 34.
How can dance interpret and respond to our paintings and architecture? In this project we explored the fusion of art, architecture, dance and VR180 technology. Find out more here: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/whats-on/virtual-reality-dance-in-the-gallery
Working with choreographer Tony Adigun, Artistic Director of Avant Garde Dance Company, an East London based dance company pushing the boundaries of hip-hop and contemporary dance, we created a series of four VR180 videos. These feature two short dance works specially created for the format alongside videos telling the story of the creative process.
