Visual and sonic worlds collide in a luminous collaboration between dance, animation, sound and outdoor installation. 

Experience this extraordinary mix of dance, animation and live music in some of Brisbane’s most exciting outdoor spaces. Friday Night Laneways: LUMEN BODY explores a groundbreaking collaboration between three exquisite artists with the support of Queensland’s premier contemporary dance company.

Four contemporary dancers from Expressions Dance Company (EDC) create a striking interaction with animated visual forms, electronic sound and live vocal performance.

Musician and visual artist Michelle Xen’s physical sonic performance will combine with Paul Van Opdenbosch’s experimental animations, generated from the choreographed movements of EDC’s Elise May.

Simple geometric sculptures are illuminated by projected imagery that responds to the movement of the dancers’ bodies. Physical and digital objects, bodies and sounds talk to one another and tell visual stories in the illuminated space where three art forms merge and collaborate.

Lumen Body will premiere in July 2016 in three locations: Brisbane Powerhouse on Friday July 1, Gasometer at Gasworks Plaza, Newstead on Friday July 15 and South Bank’s River Quay Green on Friday July 29. 

Friday Night Laneways: LUMEM BODY is an initiative of Brisbane City Council.
