SLAP in a box was an offering of something new, an experiment if you like, putting members of the SLAP team in a gallery space to conduct a live directed improvisation. Looking back the idea was attractive, a performance art jukebox whereby audience members send commands through an IPad, to a second iPad in a concealed performance space. Live streaming was then projected in an adjacent gallery space for audience members to observe their commands turned physical.
For the next instalment of SLAP we are presenting SLAP in a box.
SLAP in Box is an experiment, taking performance out of the Black Box studio and into the White Cube gallery.
SLAP in a Box is a durational 2.5 hour performance, the same length as a traditional theatre show, but in this instance the audience is in complete control.
3 Performers will be in a room.
The audience will be able to see them on a screen.
The performers cant see the audience.
The audience will be able to select from a list of commands and actions for the performers, some will have a price.
At anytime a spectator will be able to replace one of the performers.
We are creating a performance Jukebox to explore what york audiences want to see and how much live performance is worth.

All visuals only exist because of light, the ethereal qualities of which have become the main fascination informing my practice. By combining improvised dance, light and movement, polychromatic energised trails are generated by visual traces of the illuminated gestures travelling through space and time.
So - kool, Haptic & A.L.V - O(Negation) - South Africa
O(Negation) is a music video in which we follow the dancer, caught up in the dance of life; comprised of the yin and yang, or, the contrast between dark and light, and see how they both exist, simultaneously, in and around ourselves.
