Body^n premiered at Canyon NY for Performa Biennial 2025
We partnered with Performa and Ayoung Kim on an expansive performance commission that integrates live motion capture, real-time game engine play, stunt choreography, and movement to extend the narrative and technical complexity of Ayoung’s Delivery Dancer series. From early concepting to iterative testing, scenic and script development, rehearsals, technical delivery, and live production, we led holistic creative production in close collaboration with Ayoung and co-producers Onassis ONX and Canyon. The result is a technically rigorous and adventurous performance that collapses the boundary between physical and virtual.
