A Space Left Blank
We have never been more connected - and further apart from each other. A new dance film exploring the tension between the virtual and the human by choreographers and dancers Travis Clausen-Knight and James Pett.
It's in our nature to advance. We create technologies which express our instinctive desire to build relationships with one another. So, what happens when the screens that are meant to bring us together get in the way of real connection? The philosophical is brought urgently to life by choreographers and dancers Travis Clausen-Knight and James Pett in A Space Left Blank. They embody and expose the tension between the numb immediacy of virtual separation and an innate need for human touch.
