🎄 ✨This year at Xmas Dances:

‘1st movement of the Nocturne: Kinetophoria’
‘2nd movement: Vortex-bliss’
‘3rd movement: Wide awake dreamings’
‘4th movement: Nightmare glimmer’ —

These nocturnes are influenced by machine learning and machine dreaming nocturnal landscapes. The dancers shape shift through more than human subjects, interconnecting animals, plants, and natural systems with technologies.
💃 By Sergiu Matis and SEAD Students from year four (Going On)

‘It will break’ — A twisted portrait of bodies stuck between connection and collapse.
💃 Choreographed by Iacopo Loviva, performed by SEAD Students from year four (Going On)

‘Never Moves’ — A body-centric exploration of the creative process, where verbal actions collide into a performance built on the architecture of the absurd.
💃 Choreographed by Manuel Ronda in collaboration with the Refining year, performed by SEAD Students from year three (Refining)
