Four VR180 / 360 dance films and one multi-sensory spatial VR experience were presented

SOAR

Inspired by the legendary HUMA BIRD, which according to the Hindu scriptures, is said never to come to rest, living its entire life flying high in the sky, even when it lays its eggs. The only time it ceases its flight is when it dies. 

SOAR was originally staged by the Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre in August 2022. The 60-minute production was later adapted and re-imagined as a 17-minute version for 360-degree VR format.

Swayambhu:
Pulse of the Universe

The universe is an ocean of vibrations. These vibrations are within and around us in all that is seen, heard and felt. They are there in the five cosmic elements of earth, water, air, fire and ether. When these vibrations are in tune with one another, the mind and soul attain clarity. 

 

Dancers from Bhaskar's Arts Academy bring these cosmic vibrations to a pulsating VR180 experience with Swayambhu - Pulse of the Universe. Shot on location at the Lower Seletar Park Reservoir, it combines the artistry of the choreography with stunning visual effects.

Moving Stillness

Indiscriminate disposal of plastics in our waterways has caused devastation to all life.

 

Moving Stillness immerses you in the depths of the ocean for an artistic, first-person experience of the monumental struggle faced by the Ocean Mother against her plastic invaders. 

Moving Stillness brings together two Asian choreographers, Kavitha Krishnan (Singapore) and Rianto (Indonesia/Japan) working in tandem to devise choreography from traditional Asian dance practices, but through contemporary lens.

The Susurration of the Tree

The Susurration of the Tree is a fine example of immersive dance theatre at its best. Its amazing set, evocative music, and distinctive choreography and performances succeed in drawing you into the fantasy realm of the towering tree goddess and her spritely tree spirits.

This 16-minute VR180 production benefits greatly from the intimate space and the constant eye contact from its performers - giving you the feeling that you are in their world and that they can see you.

Over the Rainbow is a spatial VR experience where you will be able to move with Six Degrees of Freedom (6DOF).
