A shared virtual reality dance experience.
Celestial Motion II transports you and a friend to an alternate universe where you are joined by a virtual cast of world-class dancers on a breath-taking journey towards the sun. Using motion tracking technology by HTC Vive to playfully recreate your body, this thrilling Virtual Reality experience, created with Fenyce Workspace, immerses you in a stunning visual environment inspired by the dynamic world of solar physics.
With a special introduction by celebrated scientist and TV journalist, Jim Al-Khalili, this VR experience is a development from New Wave Associate Alexander Whitley’s stage production, 8 Minutes presented at Sadler’s Wells in 2018, and features original music created for the production by electroacoustic innovator Daniel Wohl.
- "Alexander Whitley’s poetic and playful creation captures the alien unknowableness of the universe, as well as its visual magic. A stunning cosmic voyage."
