Hellen Sky - Artist Residency

Hellen Sky is an Australian digital choreographer, performer, director and writer. Her pioneering inter-disciplinary work bridges dance, performance, theatre, and installation extended through new technologies. She collaborates with artists, scientists, performers, composers, academics, designers, writers, architects, interface designers and programmers to develop scores and technology systems that often use real time data generated by the body to effect the relationship between multiple media to form total choreographies for live performance and installations.

Hellen Sky will be continuing research for her latest ongoing work which focuses on environments, borders, spheres and matter, responding and drawing on the unique geological and marine coastline and landscape of Torbay.

Hellen will be based at Torre Abbey Museum and will be giving a talk on her work early February. Further details to be announced.
