Brrr

Brrr is a sensory installation and live performance by choreographer Hayley Earlam, made for audiences with complex needs aged 10-18.

An immersive exploration of winter, Brrr features dance, sound, video, and lots and lots of snow!

As video designer for this unique sensory experience, I created a wrap around world of responsive abstract visuals using Touch Designer. These abstract visuals shifted and changed with the show, supporting the music and dance to create a magical winter world that moved from astere snowscape to a colourful celebration of the Aurora Borealis.

Four short-throw projectors positioned overhead were mapped onto the inside of a giant inflatable dome, providing an immersive canvas for the video design.

“Brrr offers a gentle and responsive space where the audience has the choice to respond in their own way. We hope Brrr can offer a restorative and inclusive theatrical experience of winter.”
