”With the futuristic settings of Indigo Grey, we developed a perfect opportunity to integrate such immersive technology as 360 degree projection. With that, we can actually start to have scene changes as fast as a split second…”- MARIO BECK (Production Manager – Fuerza Bruta; Technical Manager – Riverdance; Stage Manager – Metallica)  

Hammerstep, is no stranger to innovation in live dance entertainment.  Well known by international television audiences for their performance on “America’s Got Talent” in 2013, Hammerstep was founded in 2009 by two-time solo World Champion Irish dancer Garrett Coleman and former lead of Riverdance Jason Oremus.

Colman and Oremus, are breaking new ground through their innovative choreography and by employing a range of audiovisual responsive technologies. Their revolutionary approach to dance is set to fresh original music by some of the world’s best musicians, including all-Ireland fiddle champion Patrick Mangan, DJ GoldenChild, renowned drummer Chuck Palmer, and Grammy-nominated musician/composer Dave Eggar.

This live, walk-through warehouse environment will give users choices on where to go and what to see, allowing an experience crafted to THEIR own personal decisions.  The 3D projection mapping’ (digital projected surfaces – walls, floor, ceiling) will transform the show scenes into real-life digital reality landscapes of the future!
