'Prehension Blooms' is an hour-long performance work for Oxford based company Neon Dance. The project delves into the idea of loneliness as a symptom of modernity, charting the emergence of loneliness as a modern and embodied emotional state. The project brings together an internationally renowned team of artists, technologists and researchers including Professor Marina Jirotka and Dr Helena Webb from the Department of Computer Science at Oxford University to unravel the origins of loneliness, exploring how we find companionship and a sense of belonging today.
