We sent our bodies to ourselves in the future. And they have just arrived… is the first in a series of Sci-Fi conceits that begets dancing – choreographed by M@ (aka Matt Cornell) in collaboration with Bgirl Raygun (Dr Rachael Gunn) and Romain Hassanin. We will share 3 work-in-progress Sci-Fi worlds in total. This work also generated a wiki-text titled The Future Arrives At All Costs, that forms part of an international hyperlinked 2022 publication asking; How Will We Take Our Bodies With Us Into The Future?
