Noise – Ugly Duck, London

Set Designer

 

— Weathering a pandemic in the process, the team have just released their work so far, and it is overwhelming… but deliberately so. Noise is a trippy, raw, and prescient exploration of how ‘loud’ and dominating some experiences can be. Noise is a striking and overwhelming first step – be on the look out for the next one — SAMUEL NICHOLLS, A YOUNGER THEATRE

— I observed very deep human interactions and connections in an instinctive way, but also in an abstract form — AUDIENCE MEMBER, STUDIO WAYNE MCGREGOR

Noise is an immersive experience of the dominating effect words, sounds and media can have on our perceptions. Performed by and for d/Deaf and hearing dancers, Noise took place as an R&D residency of six different short works, exploring movement, vibrating soundscapes, augmented reality, and a multimedia installation of sound-reactive visuals.

Developed at Studio Wayne McGregor, livestreamed from Ugly Duck. Currently in further development for touring and performance in 2021-22.
