BACKGROUND:
Entanglement Theory started life as a research project into dance, screen and mixed realities. It began with the question: what ideas, images or stories does a mix of the online virtual world technology Second Life and real life dancing ask for? Creative research by Karen Pearlman and Richard James Allen of Physical TV and Gary Hayes of MUVEDesign began at Critical Path, New South Wales' choreographic research and development centre, in January 2009 with a range of processes for the mix of Second Life and real life being tested through improvisation and the development of intermedia choreographic ideas.
Fragments of that material were then developed into first public presentation of this “mixed reality” research at Short Sweet + Dance, in the dance and virtual world live and projected dance work Do Avatars Dream of Human Sleep?, which was described in ArtsHub as “a terrific blended world”.
From there evolved the screen work, Entanglement Theory, which proposes the hypothesis that: a mash-up of Vedic spiritual philosophical ideas of multiple states of consciousness, different forms of body, and multi-dimensional realities, along with science fiction-like theories of quantum particle entanglement, can be explored with this mix of media. In other words that the two dancing men, each in their own reality, can meet, by crossing over boundaries of conventionally perceived time and space, and populate each other's performances.
Entanglement Theory was presented as a work-in-progress at SEAM Symposium 2009 Spatial Phases, as one of a number of commissioned Australian works during this two week international focus on the nexus between architecture, dance and film presented in Sydney by Critical Path in collaboration with the University of Technology, Sydney, and the University of Hertfordshire, UK. It has since has since gone on to be screened at over twenty film festivals around the world.
