in the dark - PULSE

PULSE is the edition of in the dark, a live project that stages pop, rock and indie music without a stage or amplification, with the audience seated at the centre. The concert takes place at St Johns Church, Hyde Park, London.

in the dark is a live project built on unamplified sound and choreographed movement. Thirty performers take part, and there is no stage: the audience sits at the centre of the performance, wearing eye masks, while the musicians and vocalists move through the seating. The company's own name for this method is DarkSpatial.

PULSE is the edition of the show that concentrates on energy. Its music keeps moving and is built on momentum and drive, and it is meant to be felt physically as well as heard. As performers move, the sound shifts around the room, so listeners in different places hear the performance differently.

The concert takes place in St Johns Church, Hyde Park, a religious building in London. Anyone interested in a format that places listeners at the heart of the music, rather than in front of performers, will find this approach distinctive.
