How can dance interpret and respond to our paintings and architecture? In this project we explored the fusion of art, architecture, dance and VR180 technology. Find out more here: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/whats-on/virtual-reality-dance-in-the-gallery

Working with choreographer Tony Adigun, Artistic Director of Avant Garde Dance Company, an East London based dance company pushing the boundaries of hip-hop and contemporary dance, we created a series of four VR180 videos. These feature two short dance works specially created for the format alongside videos telling the story of the creative process.
