Flock
Free.
Have you ever dreamed of performing in a corps de ballet? Do your toes tap as you watch professional dancers? Do you sometimes just feel like pirouetting with joy?
Flock is a new installation specially commissioned by the ICA and inspired by Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake where your physical presence illuminates enchanted ghostly dancers. Following any one of them will take you on a journey where fantasy and reality merge, moving you simultaneously through both the physical space and their enchanted world.
Each person's pathway will be intricately connected to the group as a whole - ultimately creating a co-ordinated corps de ballet of pedestrian performers, as engaging to the bystander as the participant.
A collaboration between digital media artists KMA and choreographer Tom Sapsford.
"Unless you're in it, you can't see it."
Listen to Kit Monkman talk about Flock (mp3) on the BBC Radio London Robert Elms show. (Wednesday 24 Jan 2007)
Produced with support from ROH2 at the Royal Opera House.
