What happens when artificial intelligence is calling the creative shots?Plagiary is an algorithmically-directed, experimental dance performance that employs AI in the roles of playwright and choreographer.
Ten exceptional contemporary dancers become vessels for unpredictable directives dictated by a computer voice presence. Improvising live, the dancers build an entirely new show each night from scratch.
The work is constructed by multi-award-winning dance technologist and choreographer Alisdair Macindoe. Acclaimed media artist Sam Mcgilp crafts new visual worlds of AI video for every performance.
Plagiary cracks open a space to deepen our knowledge of embodiment. It champions the human body as one of the final entities untouched by artificial intelligence.
The audience is invited to delve further into this collaboration between human and machine. Follow the AI prompts via an onstage screen displaying the text that directs the performance. Or wear custom glasses to mask the text – the choice is yours.
