About The Chocolate Heads
The Chocolate Heads are a collective of student dancers, musicians, designers, digital and spoken word artists from all different backgrounds and trainings. 2013-14 The Chocolate Heads will not only create signature dance and music experiences to be performed live, but will also layer a collaborative crowd-sourced based creative canvas onto the Stanford campus through digital media (mobile phones) and an app—the Chocolate Head-Space.
There is seeing space, and there is seeing the Chocolate Head-Space: a unique artistic vision that sees both the potential for interaction and performance. Much like photographers look at the world through a different lens than most of us, recognizing different patterns and focusing on different attributes of the world, Chocolate Heads see the potential for interaction and performance as they look through the view finder of the Chocolate Head-Space.
Content is created every time someone chooses to participate, and with enough participation the entire campus would be riddled with data-based echoes of creative ingenuity.
Here’s a summary of Chocolate Heads 2012-that performed at the Bing Concert Hall during its inaugural season under the theme of Synesthesia.
