Hyperchoreography―An interactive installation between dance and technology

Hyperchoreography is a six-screen interactive video installation. You can activate and control the video of the six dancers in the work with your own body movements. You can become a dancer or even a choreographer of the work, experiencing the limitless joy of dancing and dance-making. Hyperchoreography is an exciting and thought-provoking experience that gives you an insight into the art of choreography and screendance.

Hyperchoreography is a new installation conceived by screendance artists Simon Fildes and Katrina McPherson from the award-winning Scottish independent production company Goat. The art-work has been created in collaboration with the internationally acclaimed Tibetan choreographer Sang Jijia, the veteran music producer Dickson Dee, six outstanding dancers and local creative, LazyAnt.
