The inaugural production in the newest building on the RIT campus, AstroDance II: Across the Universe, premiered Dec. 1 to 3 and featured a variety of dance, aerial and circus arts, and augmented reality. The performances, which engaged performers and audience members on a shared journey of discovery, innovation, artistry, and education by combining ballet, modern dance, tap dance, hip-hop dance, step dance, and astrophysics, along with technologies of motion capture, projection mapping, and augmented reality interactive experiences, were held in the new state-of-the-art Sklarsky Glass Box Theater inside RIT’s Student Hall for Exploration and Development. The Sklarsky Glass Box Theater has 90 retractable fixed theater seats, with options to more than double the capacity by adding seating in front of the stage, at the sides of the stage, or even on the second floor mezzanine level, depending on the production. AstroDance II seated 130 for each performance.
