In a series of short performances beginning at 10:30am in the Duke’s main theater, the U.K./France’s Unwired Dance Theatre will make its U.S. debut with Where We Meet, an audio-based dance installation where audiences can experience the inner thoughts of a dancer. In this interactive and immersive dance theater performance, the spectator is in control to reveal the hidden stories behind each character. The piece is a joyful and shared experience exposing how we are more alike than we are different, reimagining what community really means in a modern age. Unwired Dance Theatre is based both in London, England and Bordeaux, France, with collaborators all around the world. Performances of Where We Meet are ticketed in advance for a limited-size audience, and will run at 10:30am, 12:15pm, 1:00pm, 1:45pm, and 2:30pm. Both seating and standing options will be available at this event.
Audience Role
Active participants will move around the space to decide which character to listen to. They can opt in for gentle moments of interaction through gestures (no dancing required!). Thanks to our interactive projection system, they are always in the darkness of the space and will not be asked to be in the spotlight. Seated observers interact through a tablet and remain seated at a distance.

About Unwired Dance Theatre
Unwired Dance Theatre makes immersive and playable experiences - for remote audiences, IRL and virtual stages, galleries and more unconventional sites. Our work questions our sense of empathy, especially when mediated through technology, and often explores what remote connection could look like. From networked wearables to XR, we like to work at the intersection of dance and technology to create unique and thought-provoking experiences, with meaningful audience participation at its core.
