Psychosynthesis is a full-length contemporary dance production which collaborates closely with technology, placing science and multimedia central in the process of creating movement, generating multimedia images, theatrical lights and setting design. This production is a visual and kinaesthetic portrayal of the initial scientific discovery of the virus, community adaptation in the height of the global pandemic and interrogates the psychological and sociological consequences of prolonged periods of isolation. Most importantly the dance explores a hopeful resolve where ultimately the will of humanity triumphs over the struggles and hardships faced. Slowly, but surely, the world returns to a sense of normalcy albeit changed.
