Aether is a full-length dance work which explores the integration of projection, sound and movement. Guerin generates intricate and chaotic dance that exists in a medium of signals, messages and data by award winning motion graphics designer Michaela French. It examines the overwhelming sophistication of contemporary communication and the problems that still remain with expressing ourselves in simple human interactions.
