SleepWalks: The Body of Dreams 

An Art Exhibit & Multimedia Dance Performance
Based on the Collective Dreams of
Participants of Two SleepWalks Overnight
Soundscape Performances 


​SleepWalks: The Body of Dreams is an art and science collaboration formed between two musicians, Andrea Williams and Lee Pembleton, scientist Todd Anderson, and Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company (Choreographer, Ellen Sinopoli, and 6 dancers/choreographers: Louisa Barta, Maggie Ciambrone, Madeline Morser, André Robles, and Sara Sencal).

SleepWalks: The Body of Dreams is a multimedia performance that presents  dance  choreography  and  visual  and sound art  derived  from  collaborative  dream  journal  entries and  sleep  data  collected  with biosensors during  two SleepWalks—overnight  sound  performances  for  sleeping  audiences. SleepWalks is a soundwalk–a collaborative listening experience– for sleeping dreamers. The  primary  theme  for  the  sleeping  dreams  was  Water  and  traveling through local waterscapes.
