A dance of other bodies is a robotic bending active pneumatic hybrid (BAPH) architectural system that generates music. The system consists of robotically actuated bending rods and pneumatic elastic surfaces that can change shape in response to a dancer’s movements, while generating sounds based on their deformations. This concept introduces a new perspective on performance spaces, where the architecture itself becomes a performer. This approach gives rise to a dynamic relationship between the human and architectural performers, as well as the viewers, resulting in a new immersive experience for the audience.
