A dreamy weekend in Brighton... Last month, we took our work Beyond the Darkness, including our dance short film As the Floor Shifts and our interactive experience (The Moment) Everything Changed to South East Dance's The Dance Space as part of Dreamy Place festival 2024, the festival celebrating the vibrant world of creative tech and the arts. We loved showing the work we've been making with Creative Technologist Marius Matesan from PlayLa.bZ Community Interest Company, talking to participants about the ideas behind it and raising awareness of how neuro-disability can be experienced. Watch this space for ways you can experience our work in 2025 and thanks for having us Dreamy Place! 📷 Zoe Manders.
