Like most performing-arts groups, slowdanger has had shows canceled or postponed because of the pandemic. But in the case of this Pittsburgh-based interdisciplinary troupe known for blending movement with new technology, a postponement sent it even further down a high-tech path it was already traveling.
On Mon., Feb. 15, slowdanger and collaborator Anna Henson will debut “far field,” an immersive work that gives a new look to online dance. The show, originally conceived as a mix of live dance and virtual reality, had been set to debut in the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ Studio K this past July. But after it was postponed, slowdanger went all-in on VR.
