About QUANTUM
QUANTUM is an innovative dance performance by Gilles Jobin, choreographer of international acclaim and German visual artist Julius von Bismarck. Gilles Jobin developed this choreography after his residency at CERN - The European Organization for Nuclear Research, world's largest particle physics laboratory. It is based on the concept of kinetic movement in particle physics.
QUANTUM takes the quark as muse, fusing choreography and installation art into an ode to subatomic randomness. Six dancers vibrate, scatter, and whirl beneath a gyrating quartet of industrial lamps, programmed to respond to the slightest movement, while Carla Scaletti's soundscape from particle collision data provides the sonic ether.
QUANTUM is a stunning example of the kind of mutual inspiration that can happen when artists and scientists work alongside one another.
Workshops
Gilles Jobin will also lead choreographic workshops for dance professionals, students, scholars and/or scientists around the idea of "movement generators" developed during his CERN residency and the creation of QUANTUM.
Bangalore workshop at Attakalari on 26th and 27th of November
Delhi workshop Danceworx on 3rd and 4th of December
