An immersive audio, text and movement experience by Blink Dance Theatre. Through headphones, participants are guided on a mythic journey to reclaim our animal bodies and find the fullness of nature within.
Written by Blink’s creative team and accompanied by original sound design by composer Josh Mitchell, Small Wonders utilises spatial audio and ASMR binaural mixing techniques in an experiential new work that challenges the audience/performer relationship found in traditional theatrical contexts. This is a shared movement experience: deep listening, embodied connection, and resonance. A place where wonder becomes the bridge between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
Duration is approximately 65 mins, and includes a 15 min facilitated conversation following both performances.
The development of this project has been supported by the City of Greater Geelong through its ‘Creative Communities Grant Program’ and Platform Art’s 2022 LAB residency.
