Site-specific dance in the digital world

In a world where so much art is consumed online, what does it mean to create site-specific dance that is viewed or experienced through digital mediums?

The classes created a strong visceral sense of place that permeated across the screen. They featured works from artists including Amrita Hepi, Deanne Butterworth and Jack Riley. Chunky Move Executive Director and co-CEO Kristy Ayre explains how these works came about and what they mean for the future of site-specific dance. ‘When COVID happened, we needed to look at options a lot more closely, because we didn’t want to just sit around and twiddle our thumbs and do nothing,’ she tells ArtsHub.
