In this week's Lunchtime Talk, Dr. Jess McCormack will share insights and reflections on the progress of Dancing Cities.

The project, developed in collaboration with Helen Wilson, Director of RISE Youth Dance, VR filmmaker Aayush Dudhiya and choreographer/filmmaker Sam Amos explores how creative technologies can help young residents connect, communicate through movement, and imagine new ways to engage with the city's spaces.

The young participants experimented with site-specific choreography and technology-based approaches to create films that explore a range of locations, asking how creative practices might help people envision better ways to co-exist in public areas.
