About Project

Farewell to Dawn is a mixed reality dance performance which explores two dancers’ voyage from a physical space to a virtual stage and back, as the day passes before them.

Performance of the piece is achieved using the Mixed Reality Stage, a VR theatre platform that integrates motion capture and augmented reality (AR) with a distributed 3D gaming engine.
