Looking Within

23 PRiME's debut production brought together numerous technologies to produce what was, and has remained, a first in the world of tap dance: A performance during which a tap dancer, wearing a pair of electric tap shoes, controls both the musical accompaniment and the projected visuals.

The final product was a 7 minute abstract short describing the internal struggles of a dancer and how those are expressed in silence and in sound.
