BREAKING VIRTUAL

The second iteration of a multiplayer VR dance performance project exploring community, movement, and hip-hop culture in virtual space. Developed in collaboration with the Hip-Hop Institute of Hamburg, participants share an immersive environment where they can follow motion-captured dance instructors, their choreography recorded and mapped onto custom avatars, while also freely interacting with each other and the world around them, from dancing together to spray painting the virtual environment.

Performed live at schools and performance venues, the experience sits somewhere between dance class, collective performance, and shared playground. Led by Brazilian choreographer Regina Rossi alongside Studio für Unendliche Möglichkeiten.

Built in Unreal Engine 5, the project premiered at Kampnagel/K3 Hamburg in June 2023 and has since toured across Germany.
