0AR (zero AR) is a collection of short dance works in Augmented Reality (AR). It is based on the 2005 ground-breaking production zero degrees - a collaboration between Sadler’s Wells Associate Artists Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Akram Khan and Nitin Sawney, with sculptor Antony Gormley. 0AR is a communal experience suitable for children and families where audience members, using a tablet device, can interact in real time with one another and experience extracts of the original work popping up in 3D.

“I was intrigued and transported by it…..It’s like a brief but exhilarating brush with another world that exists inside, or alongside, our own.“ Donald Hutera – dance/arts writer (The Times)
