Ziggurat Project: Floating

How can we broaden the borders of our sensorial perception in an environment using dance and digital technology instead of blaming the latest for destroying our feeling of mind fullness present ? Our aim is, similarly to floatation-REST, which nowadays is used for therapy having the goal to drift someone into a deep state of relaxation and realizing this way the disconnection from today’s busy environment., to place the participants in a space deprived of the endless input of sensory experiences coming from the world outside and immerse them into a common physical experience.

The project was born from the artist in residency program organized by K.A.I.R. (Košice Artist in Residence) in the summer of 2016 and was presented in the frame of L1danceFest2016 (work in progress presentation), Košice White Night (premier) and Bratislava White Night festivals.
