ABOUT THE PIECE
UNSET 2.0’s team of dancers, musicians, and designers craft an evening of improvised compositions inspired by the audience present. Whether you relate as an observer in the audience or a mover on stage, you play an important part. The ensemble invites you to experience dance that brings your senses to life! Come as you are. Your authentic movement is the common language we speak.
UNSET 2.0 evolves the form of interactive dance to expand its interactive capacity. A series of co-created dances inspired by a participating audience member in the role of "prima dancer" are supported by ensemble of trained dancers, musicians, and technical designers. By supporting the movement expression of the participant through improvisational techniques and choreographic structure, UNSET 2.0 empowers the participating individual through their own expressive movement and expands the definition of “dance,” and who a “dancer” is. It aims to inspire more individuals to see themselves as dancers, regardless of training.
