Passing Phase

24 lights. 24 loops. 24 minutes. A dazzling ode to chaos, performed in circles.

DOTDASH present an immersive performance installation, that explores patterns in chaos and order in disorder. Ultimately asking, is hope a Passing Phase?

Originally commissioned by Margate Festival and performed on Dreamland’s Big Wheel using 24 phasing lights (controlled wirelessly via dmx), sound loops and live performance. It then transferred to the Quarterhouse in Folkestone (a black box studio space), as part of Profound Sound Festival in 2017, following an R&D period supported by Arts Council England and the Tom Thumb Theatre.

“Wow, wow, wow, Passing Phase was incredible and clever … [it was] about daring to hope in times like these, even though we are cheering for sandcastles.” Margate Theatre Club

“Mesmerizing and fundamentally beautiful.” Gemma Cairney, BBC Radio1
