Dance-O-Mat 2020

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Working with the team at Bunjil Place, I co-produced the Dance-O-Mat program to activate the outdoor amphitheatre space during the 2020 summer school holidays. My role was to engage with the dance community to facilitate and coordinate a range of events and activations.

The Dance-O-Mat concept was originally developed by Gap Filler, a Christchurch-based creative initiative, as a temporary, coin-operated public dance floor designed to activate vacant post-earthquake spaces. Featuring a washing machine that controls the lights and sound, it invites spontaneous public participation.
