The Space, Nottingham Contemporary
Free, booking advised (donations welcome)
More Than Human: A Soft-Cinema Lounge Experience is a new immersive media installation that combines dance, algorithmic visuals, and electronic sound across dual screens to create a layered, sensory environment.
It explores intelligence as something shared and distributed across living systems (plants, animals, fungi, ecosystems, and technologies) rather than something that belongs only to humans or machines. Inspired by James Bridle's Ways of Being, it asks how we might perceive and feel more-than-human intelligences through movement, image, and sound.
It offers a calm, sensorially rich experience from a unique perspective: lying on cushions beneath a suspended screen, in a "soft-cinema lounge."
This is an evolving new concept by Tom Dale Company with The Light Surgeons and Chronic Insanity Theatre.
Screenings last approx 20 mins, and take place at the following times: 3pm, 3.30pm, 4pm, 4.30pm, 5pm, 5.30pm, 6pm, 6.30pm, 7pm, 7.30pm, 8pm, 8.30pm, 9pm.
Screenings have limited capacity and booking is advised. A small number of walk-in slots will be available on the day.
