这是悉尼一些顶尖设计师、道具制作师、声音艺术家、编舞师和舞者的一次创新合作。《想跳舞》旨在让公众在他们热爱的城市的公共空间中体验快乐。在悉尼冬至节的下午和冬夜，这件装置作品将吸引人们参与，带来一个充满活力、出人意料的互动时刻，让人们以一种轻松愉快的方式交流。
在海市场海街与帕克巷的拐角处，一座历史建筑的后方伸出三个造型独特的排气口，它们色彩鲜艳，与众不同。这些排气口装有感应灯和音响，灯光闪烁，音乐响起，仿佛在召唤你靠近。你走到其中一个排气口下方，灯光旋转亮起，音乐渐强，舞池就属于你了。想跳舞吗？尽情来吧。
克里斯·福克斯（Chris Fox），《想跳舞》设计师表示：“在新冠疫情肆虐的时期，公共场合的舞蹈活动曾被禁止了很长一段时间，《想跳舞》项目通过舞蹈、音乐和灯光重新激活了公共领域。海市场的一条服务巷道被一系列混合型物件改造，三个工业通风口被奇思妙想地改造成表演舞蹈的头罩。这个项目为人们再次在公共场合跳舞提供了一个充满乐趣的机会。”
由悉尼最出色的音乐策划人之一泰森·科（Tyson Koh，Loose Joints、FBi Radio）精心挑选的音乐，每天的背景音乐从冥想开始，随后在世界各地的各类舞曲中穿梭，直至深夜，鼓励人们锻炼、学习舞步、畅想夜店时光，或满足听众的任何愿望。
“想跳舞”活动还将在 6 月 11 日至 19 日的两个周末期间，每晚安排六场舞蹈表演，由舞蹈艺术家艾玛·桑德斯策划，届时悉尼一些最令人兴奋的新锐舞蹈艺术家将登台献艺。
舞蹈风格包括 C-Pop、K-Pop、嘻哈和现代舞，将由悉尼知名舞蹈团队表演，其中包括费拉斯·沙欣和朋友们、Yee-Li Tee 和 The Westies Crew、C+ 舞蹈工作室以及 We Are Here 舞蹈公司。
An innovative collaboration between some of Sydney’s leading designers, prop-makers, sound artists, choreographers and dancers, Wanna Dance is made for the public to experience joy in a public space in a city they love. The installation engages people throughout the afternoon and winter evenings of Sydney Solstice with a vibrant, unexpected moment to interact in a playful way.
Protruding from the rear of a heritage building on Parker Lane on the corner of Hay Street in Haymarket are three exhaust vents unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Sensor activated lights and sound from these brightly coloured vents beckon you closer. You step under a vent, the lights swirl to action, the music swells and the floor is yours. Wanna dance? Bring it on.
Chris Fox, Wanna Dance Designer said: ‘Wanna Dance’ activates the public domain with dance, music and light in an era of Covid when dancing was, for a long time, banned in public. A service laneway in Haymarket is transformed with a series of hybrid objects, the whimsical re-invention of three industrial vents into performative dance hoods. This project is a playful opportunity for people to dance in public again.’
With music curated by one of Sydney’s best music programmers Tyson Koh (Loose Joints, FBi Radio), the soundtrack commences each day with a meditation before roaming through various genres of dance music from around the world into the night, encouraging workout sessions, ballroom step-throughs, nightclub fantasies or whatever the listener desires.
Wanna Dance also features six nights of dance performances curated by dance artist Emma Saunders programmed nightly over two weekends from 11-19 June with some of Sydney’s most exciting new dance artists.
Dance styles include C-Pop, K-Pop, Hip Hop and Contemporary will be performed by renowned Sydney dance crews including Feras Shaheen and Friends, Yee-Li Tee and The Westies Crew, C+ Dance Studio and We Are Here dance company.
