"Through melding the AR tech and soundtrack together with the performers’ insights (many of whom are d/Deaf themselves), the show pushes the boundaries of what ‘noise’ is. The power of this approach is shocking. Given more time to polish and compound these pieces, Noise could be seismic.
Really, the whole event can be seen as a proof-of-concept: proof that blurring between dance and technology has captivating consequences; proof that art can be both thematically successful and innately inclusive; proof that the concept of ‘noise’ is far vaster than a viewer may initially imagine. Above all else, Noise is a striking and overwhelming first step – be on the look out for the next one."

“It was an immersive experience, where I had to connect with all my senses. I observed very deep human interactions and connections in an instinctive way, but also in an abstract form.” Audience member at the sharing at Studio Wayne McGregor, March 2020
“A really unique deep dive in to the felt sensation of sound with a superb team on board.” Audience member from livestream, December 2020
How does noise feel? NOISE is an immersive experience of the dominating effect words, sounds and media can have in our perceptions.
Performed by Deaf and hearing dancers, NOISE involves movement, vibrating soundscapes and a multimedia installation of sound-reactive visuals.
We are taking the concept of Noise beyond hearing, as an overwhelming experience that dominates all of our perceptual apparatus, hindering other signals or sensations. This gives us an immense freedom to explore different experiences of Noise.
We want to make art that takes into account the experience of d/Deaf people in the audience. We are collaborating with visual artist Henrique Ghersi to design an interactive multimedia installation which is reactive to sound, in order to create an immersive sensorial experience accessible to d/Deaf and hearing people alike. Mike Winship is designing a soundscape which leads the audience through an emotionally filled space, made not only of sounds but of vibrations too, playing with our own perceptions.
We are delighted to be collaborating with Remark! Community to meaningfully engage with d/Deaf audiences.
This project is generously supported by Arts Council National Lottery Grants. Thank you also to Ugly Duck, Dance East and Centre 151 for their support.
