To Be in Concert is a brand new, interactive performance installation which reimagines the traditional concert experience by placing the performers and audience members in collaboration with each other. By controlling sounds and projected visualizers within the performance space via interactive technology stations, the audience can contribute to and inform the dance and music created by the performers. Through this exchange between audiences and performers, participants learn “to be in concert” with one another to create the full performance experience. Sponsored by FastForward U's Performance Award and Peabody’s Dean's Development Grant, this premier showing of "To Be in Concert" took place at FastForward U on April 11th, 2022.
