SMOKING MIRRORS is the first in a series of “Performance Design” events that incorporate urban dance, design and multi media arts created collaboratively with designers and choreographers. This event will include a stand-alone art installation turned multi-sensory dance performance environment and DJ dance party. Performances will take place in various areas of the curated interactive environment, through which the audience will move to experience tactile sensations, sights and sounds.
SMOKING MIRRORS is an interactive journey into the fragmentation of the self through the various stages of reflection and representation. By exploring and expanding the architecture of the body in motion we create fantastical, whimsical, and distorted environments where the lines between object and human, viewer and viewed, performance and experience are often blurred. Quite simply we create "bodies by design" and "design by bodies". With elements such as mirrors, projections, deconstructed mannequins, and a memory foam wall, expect a bizarre and amusing collage in the likes of Tim Burton, M.C. Escher, and Grace Jones.
