A&I is a new dance and multimedia live production between five performers and a solitary AI interface (Luna) that uses smart home technology on a theatrical scale. The work questions how we see and care for the technologies we have created, which hold up the fragile ecosystems of modern society.

Orange Grove Dance brings their groundbreaking production A&I to the prestigious Futures Institute of Edinburgh, marking its international debut. Featured in the Institute's Making Waves Event Season, the performance includes a talk-back moderated by Heather Rikic, Programme Director of the University's MSc Dance Science and Education programme.

​Come take part in OGD's 6th annual Dance, Design, & Film Intensive led by Artistic Directors Colette Krogol and Matt Reeves alongside key OGD company collaborators. Intended for serious pre-professional and professional dance artists with an interdisciplinary practice, this rigorous and immersive week-long intensive features an exciting lineup of classes, workshops, and labs.

The creative teams behind the dance pieces, A&I and DANCE2, will share excerpts from the performances and discuss how AI has informed their creative practice and productions.

FIVE-PART DANCE FILM SERIES
The Other Canticles constitute a series of dance films inspired by five musical works of British composer Benjamin Britten. The pieces were written as canticles across his lifetime, with three of the pieces written as memorials. These dance films rouse the dynamic musical themes of each canticle and reflect the intense tone, power, and spiritual elevation of these works across disparate cinematic landscapes.
