Encoded is a large-scale dance work collaboration between Stalker Theatre and CCS which premiered at Carriageworks in November 2012. By using a combination of large and small-scale interactive projections onto building, outdoor sets and the dancers themselves, Encoded blurs the boundaries between physical and digital space.
