Bedroom Dancing was directed by Steve Mayhew and was a promenade installation that allowed the audience to circulate among 15 different bedroom spaces distributed around the theatre, arranged as if they were in an art gallery.

The works were structured to a strict set of timed soundtracks and were loosely divided into 5 x 10 minute loops representing the 5 stages of sleep culminating in a choreographed finale in ‘Stage 5 – REM SLEEP.’

The works had elements of intimacy through to grand gesture and the audience was invited to adjust their personal viewing relationships with the works as they wished; by standing, sitting on the benches provided or walking / wheeling through the designated areas to view them.
