Zoom In was filmed as 360° media that can also be experienced through a virtual reality device.
Feel as if you’re sharing the stage with Boston Ballet dancers in this virtual reality performance. Filmed for a 360-degree view, the dancers surround you with impressive and bold movements, choreographed by Ken Ossola. He and the dancers adapted to a new innovative working technique, rehearsing together through Zoom as Ossola choreographed from Europe.
"All the choreography has to be designed to move around the camera in a circular way. I discovered new ways to guide the audience. You have to manage the space to constantly excite them." –Ken Ossola
Soundtrack: “Fratres” by Arvo Pärt*
Performed by Gidon Kremer, violin and Keith Jarrett, piano
*By arrangement with European American Music and Universal Music Group
