Description | Commissioned by Brighton Festival and Without Walls and funded by Arts Council England, South East Dance Agency, The Hum is a smartphone-based work which employs location data to deliver precomposed soundtracks to audience members at specified places within a city. It aims to draw attention to everyday activities reframing these as valid acts of choreography and challenging traditional definitions of what is thought of as dance and performance. To do so it takes advantage of the cinematic soundtrack to focus the public’s attention on these often overlooked unpremeditated choreographies in and around the city. The Hum seeks to question and elevate the status of these inadvertent acts of choreography by re-visiting the mundane activities of everyday life. At times profound yet often personal it is an immersive work that reveals an alternative view of the city through movements that take place within it. |
