Blue Sky Academy # 311C

Choreography: Choy Ka Fai

Blue Sky Academy #331C_ is an online simulation of a performance with an interactive web portal of visual documentary and rendered worlds. The academy is a conceptually new school to promote Siberian Shamanism as a contemporary form of spiritual practice. It proposes a discursive space that provides new visibility to the old, supposedly irrational belief system and the alternative views of the world inherent in shamanism. The work is part of Choy Ka Fai’s ongoing series Cosmic Wander, exploring shamanic dance culture in Asia.
