| Summary: | The aim of this project was to undertake curiosity-based research on the possibilities that the current generation of virtual reality (VR) technology can offer for a movement-based artist. This focused on the interplay between real and virtual spaces, looking specifically at how the technology impacts on the roles of audience and performer.
