Dancers perform vertical routine across Boston building facade
www.dezeen.com: Performers from experimental dance company Bandaloop leap, flip and spin across the glass facade of a 17-storey tower at Boston's Fan Pier in this choreographed acrobatic act (+ movie).
The aerial performance took place to celebrate the opening of 100 Northern Avenue – a 534,000-square-foot office building (49,600 square metres) on the city's waterfront.

Seeing experimental groups like this have the ability to take full reign of the space around them is one of the key reasons that I am interested in tech. All of the rigging and preparation involved to keep these dancers safe and able to execute this performance is fascinating, and it reminds me how incredible it is to be able to watch and be a part of the process that went into creating art that represents the freedom that we have to be innovative and creative in our own lives. Movements begin with one crazy idea, and this is an example of that. The abilities that technicians have to provide for the performers who wish to take risks are as beautiful as the work itself. Everything must be designed with the same flawlessly brilliant touch as the choreography, and everything must work in harmony. The freedom that the dancers have in this project begins with the freedom that tech has the ability to provide.
