Dreamhaze
Diving into synesthesia, flow states and improvised live performance
Dreamhaze curated an otherworldly space where music, art, and emotions blend - with an ethereal lineup of musical artists alongside live improvised movement performance. My experience with Synesthesia is what guided the added layer of audio/visual and chromatic elements that complimented Luiss' movement flows.
[ "more than my physical body" ]
In flow states of movement and dance, the body knows what to do without thought - almost as if there is an energetic fluid around you that's constantly in flux and you're just tapping into it. Subtle energy bodies in tao and tantra contrasting the mind-body dualism in western thought, describes the body as not merely its material form, but energetic channels and centers.
Building upon these, the installation is a sensory exploration of feeling into what lies beyond the physical body with flow and energy visualized.
