A performance that celebrates our most precious resource, water, inspired by all the feelings a downpour can conjure. A dancer in a motion capture suit drives the visuals in real time, in TouchDesigner and Notch, to original music by Matthew Ferraro, with choreography and dance by Nikki Watson.

Rain premiered at Fulldome UK 2022 in the Market Hall Dome, Plymouth. It was shown again, as Flow, at Athens Digital Arts Festival in April 2025, with music by Jeph Vanger and dance by Marianna Sfyridi.
