Bodies- VCA Honours Folio Live (Audience Interactive Exhibit)

Director/Concept/Music by - Nick Rinaldi Set Designer - Erin Mackellin

2023

BODIES is an audience interactive sound exhibit: it relies on the movement of the audience's bodies to create sound, which interacts with pre-composed music in the space.

BODIES aims to explore how we interact with the people around us: do we conform, acting for the benefit of those around us, or do we take pride in our uniqueness, acting solely as an individual? The audience will display their answers to this question by interacting with the exhibit and the people around them.

The exhibit consists of 4 chapters: Fields, Waters, Mountains, and Cities. Each chapter will consist of its own unique soundscape, colour palette, and instrumentation. Each chapter will last approx. 10 minutes, before a short transition plays, and the next chapter is entered. The instruments and parameters of instruments the audience controls will change from chapter to chapter.
