    Astrolabe - Whakaterenga - Matariki 15-min VR 360 experience

    Astrolabe - whakaterenga seeks to reimagine our perception of body, space and time with the support of digital technologies. Astrolabe’s unique visual and aural scenarios created for VR and expanded cinema installation invites the audience to experience different perspectives of space and time - travelling to augmented realms inspired by ancient star charts and maps.

    Astrolabe - whakaterenga reflects an ancient elemental energy - ancestral memory unfolds in a digital cloak of projected light and sound. The acts of voyaging from the ocean to the stars - from our shores to the cosmos, and coming back to land are central themes in the work. Dancers glide on geometric waka, propelling their vessels with dance and sound, connecting past and present. They are navigators - messengers between worlds in this space oriented ontology.

    Short immersive dance art film: Kōtiritiri - Meteors

    Astrolabe - whakaterenga reflects an ancient elemental energy - ancestral memory unfolds in a digital cloak of projected light and sound. The acts of voyaging from the ocean to the stars - from our shores to the cosmos, and coming back to land are central themes in the work. Dancers glide on geometric canoes (Waka), connecting past and present. They are messengers between worlds in this space oriented ontology. Navigation through belonging and dreaming are themes that recur. Time cuts through other times: geological time, genealogical time, celestial time, the time-out-of-time of this moment now. Aboriginal Elders call this “the everywhen”.
