A set of principles govern how artists relate to each other, to the environment and to the public. This Manifesto forms the basis for all encounters as the Dance Machine journeys to different places.
The public is invited to enter: share tasks, play, rest and converse with a small group of artists who act as hosts, guides and facilitators. An embodied experience that has the potential to inspire deep rest as well as mindful play, the Dance Machine can also simply, be a beautiful dynamic object to witness from multiple perspectives.
