RESOLUTION 26: Chiara Martina Halter and Oliver Walton, Company Sixth and Moyra Cecilia Silva Rodriguez

Resolution Festival

This image is divided into three parts. On the left, there is a person in a nude leotard, softly lit, poses with one leg bent and one arm raised, looking upward, a backdrop behind them displaying a light animation of a fantastical figure. In the centre, profile of a person with long grey hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a white T-shirt and white wireless headphones, looking upward with a row of mobile phones atop their face. On the right, person in a dark costume embellished with white ornaments, captured mid-motion, crossing their arms at chest-level, gazing forward and surrounded by a blue halo.

Metanoia

With a creeping murmur, Metanoia opens the gate to a world of rebirths and mutations where the digital and the physical overlap. Real-time generative AI is used to transform performer and audience alike into constantly evolving creatures. Together, they toe the line between curiosity and hubris in a soundscape of whispers, drones and growls.
Metanoia reflects on a present-day reality where digital images and identities are twisted, frozen and reinvented beyond recognition. It questions the boundaries between freedom and self-destruction as it tentatively weighs up fear against desire, in an interactive hybrid reality performance.

About Chiara Martina Halter and Oliver Walton

Oliver Walton (he/him) is an interactive artist, Creative Technologist, and experimental performer. His practice combines technology and social play, creating immersive experiences that foster connection and collaboration. Using AI, real-time motion capture, and video game engines, he explores how technology can become a space for contemporary communion, countering isolation and hyper-individualism with embodied, shared experiences.

Chiara Martina Halter (she/her) is a London based, Swiss/Italian contemporary dance artist who creates works for film, theatre and site-specific performance settings. In her practice she merges live performance with screendance and installation art, using physical environments as the creative starting point to explore themes of socio-political relevance through a personal lens.

Algorithm

Researching how fans follow and idolise celebrities, the ever-changing influence of pop culture and the visceral impact of Artificial Intelligence on our screen-absorbed society, this new work mocks using sinister undertones of the reality of our digital dependence. Doom scrolling just got physical. Let the music encompass you in this over-stimulated theatrical world where cringe is merely a fictional concept.

About company sixth

Company Sixth is a creative movement collective founded in 2023 by Becca Dodd and Elina Wates. Inspired by their training in contemporary dance, Sixth aims to push the boundaries of specific themes using humour, music and spontaneity that emerge from improvisation and in-depth theoretical discussions.

With works so far shown at The Place and The Brit School among others, Sixth aim to continue their choreographic path with a core belief of valuing the process and a love for making work. Their performances are shaped by the people in the room and the ideas that arise between them. Sixth exists to provoke thought and craft performances that respond to the strangeness and complexity of the world we live in.

Company Sixth is supported by The Place's Artist Development Propeller Programme for London Contemporary Dance School graduates.

U N S I L E N C E D

A sensory and participatory dance performance inspired by protests in Peru.

A gentle atmosphere unfolds as the audience and performers co-create a rising energy, moving from grief to hope and renewal. A dynamic, warrior-inspired presence (performer and director Moyra Silva Rodríguez) responds to the audience and the live violin of Camila Alva, whose music awakens silenced voices.

A costume threaded with butter beans and audience-activated shakers by Carolina Rieckhof, enriched by Rowan Parker-Renwick’s sound design, adds soft, crackling rhythms. Audiences join a shared ritual of empathy, solidarity, and collective hope.
