‘When I danced with a group whilst the music was playing, I was asked if I could hear the music as my movements matched with the music. It was a very strange and interesting point for me as I did not hear music and was dancing with my feelings and emotions. This question influenced and inspired me to examine sound and music from a deaf person’s perspective.‘ Chisato Minamimura
body>data>space is thrilled to announce that Ring the Changes+ will premiere at the Southbank Centre on Friday 5th September as part of Unlimited Festival.
The first week in September sees the much-anticipated return of *Unlimited* – Southbank Centre’s festival that celebrates the artistic vision and originality of disabled artists. Unlimited presents the opportunity to see brilliant new work by exceptional artists including Chisato Minamimura, Robert Softley Gale, Julie McNamara, Claire Cunningham and Katherine Araniello.
RING THE CHANGES+ is an interactive dance performance created by deaf artist Chisato Minamimura in collaboration with Nick Rothwell and body>data>space.
Choreographing what Chisato calls ‘visual sound/music’, the project uses interactive technology to create an innovative sense experience for hearing and non-hearing audiences.
Ring the Changes+ will be presented alongside ‘Remember When’ an intimate dance solo created and performed by Marc Brew
