Studio 2
6101 University AvenuePresented by suddenlyLISTEN, SHAPEVILLE is an immersive, interactive performance that blends movement, virtual and physical environments, and sound. Through augmented reality, soft sculpture, and live performance, it creates a tactile, playful world where digital and material spaces overlap. Audiences are welcome to enter, observe, or participate as the piece unfolds in real time. With concept and choreographic direction by Jacinte Armstrong, and creation and performance by dance artists Gillian Seaward-Boone, Kate Holden, and Leah Skerry, SHAPEVILLE features audio design and performance by Brandon Auger and computational design by architect James Forren. Together they build an evolving landscape of gesture, texture, and sound - an imaginative, sensory exploration of how bodies move and perceive across virtual and real dimensions.
SHAPEVILLE runs Sunday afternoon and audiences can enter at any time during its duration
