What if you could hear someone’s thoughts? This question lies at the heart of Where We Meet, an innovative and immersive dance theatre experience that uses wearable technology to explore connection in a world often defined by disconnection. Running from 28th February to 2nd March 2025 at The Cockpit in London, with a total of 16 performances over three days, Unwired Dance Theatre presents Where We Meet; a highly innovative performance that combines contemporary dance, immersive performance, and extended reality (XR) technology to offer audiences a deeply personal and interactive experience. Audiences can choose their own narrative journey by stepping into the minds of three distinct characters. Using custom-designed headsets and spatial audio, participants can hear the inner monologues of the characters as they move closer to them, unveiling intimate thoughts and emotions. The dancers, equipped with wearable technology, can affect what thoughts they share with the audience by adapting to the presence of the participants around them, making each performance truly unique. The performance introduces: Becki, a social butterfly seeking meaningful connection over fleeting interactions. Adam, a driven perfectionist reevaluating the meaning of success. Faith, a reformed self-critic reimagining her relationship with her body. To cater to varying levels of engagement, there are two ticket types: The Immersive Explorer: For active participants who wish to fully engage with the interactive elements. Wearing a headset and tracker, these participants will move freely through the space, connecting with characters through optional interactions or quiet observation. The Compassionate Observer: For those preferring a seated experience, this ticket provides headphones and a tablet, allowing participants to connect with characters virtually while remaining in their seat. Performances last for 30 minutes and are at the following times: Friday, 28th February 2025: 5:00pm, 6:15pm, 7:30pm, 8:45pm Saturday, 1st March 2025: 2:00pm, 3:15pm, 4:30pm, 6:15pm, 7:30pm, 8:45pm Sunday, 2nd March 2025: 1:00pm, 2:15pm, 3:30pm, 5:15pm, 6:30pm, 7:45pm Venue: The Cockpit, Gateforth Street, London NW8 8EH
