Hip-hop dance meets gaming technology in this ground-breaking work by Shaun Parker and Company. Conceived to engender emotional resilience in young people, In the Zone features captivating new technology called AirSticks, which create live sound through movement. Developed with AirSticks co-creator, Alon Ilsar PhD,
In the Zone features Western Sydney hip-hop artist Libby Montilla and moves by award-winning choreographer Shaun Parker.
With AirSticks technology in the hands of Libby Montilla, the audience enters the world of a video game through the dance forms of locking, popping, waving and body-ticking, inspired by the stunning soundscape which includes crunchy electronica, atmospheric strings, funky drum loops and the sounds of birds, ocean waves and nature – all intrinsically linked to Libby's outstanding body animation and storytelling in a bravura solo performance.
In the Zone takes gaming and escapism as a point of inspiration and celebrates the spectacular worlds that can be explored with technology today. It also examines the potential for loss of control through gaming, encouraging a renewed appreciation for nature. In the Zone provides young audiences (and the young at heart) with the insight that they are much more in control of their own emotional responses than they think they are.
A perfect show for the entire family, with adults enjoying the show just as much as their children!
