      ” b.y.o.b. “(bring your own beat) is an experiment on the effect of music on dance and on our everyday lives. The audience are asked to bring along a playlist of 12 minutes (this could include music of any kind or spoken word), their personal music player device and their headphones, and watch the piece with their own soundtrack. The piece has no meaning or story. The audiences’ choice of music allows them to see what’s not there.“b.y.o.b.” was first performed in the Sandon Room at the Bluecoat Thurs 26TH & Friday 27TH 5.30 pm as part of Physical Fest 2016.For more information and videos please visit http://www.onurorkut.com/byob/ Show less
