Collective Body
あらすじ
Collective Body is an interactive, virtual reality experience that invites us to meet ourselves and each other through movement. Set in the middle of a New Mexican storm, participants are guided to rediscover their first ways of engaging with the world, symbolizing formative life events that culminate in a shared exploration of our embodied selves. These key moments—beginning alone, discovering the unfamiliar, first encounters, and joyfully moving together—represent how our personal and collective stories are written through movement. Designed for 4 participants or more, Collective Body asks: how does a body hold histories over time and how are those histories felt and shared?

About
The experience uses virtual reality to open us to different sensations of our physical world while creating a new perception of ourselves as individuals within a collective. We are first guided to reappropriate movement and dancing in our own body, to rediscover our first ways of engaging with the world, before we meet the silent part ourselves that we express through movement.
This otherwise ephemeral self is generated using an algorithmic system that analyses our movement throughout the first two scenes. This self takes the form of an avatar, assigned out of 16 possible avatars, and is represented as a natural element accompanied by a musical theme.
Once we meet this version of ourselves, we are invited to meet another person, encountering them as their movement avatar while being encouraged to share our movement and music together. With our partner, we join the rest of the participants, encountering different ways that others exist through movement, mixing together to create a final moment of joyful, collective discovery in dance. The final moments together invite us to experiment with other embodied ways of being: we have the opportunity to try on different movement avatars, to feel another’s movement identity.
Collective Body asks what it means to experience ourselves in relation to others - without words and beneath the surface. How does a body hold histories over time? How do those histories get expressed and interpreted? How do many bodies create their own ecology?
