Wherever humans go, we bring our arts, and in zero-gravity, we will create amazing new forms of art never before seen, as our imaginations are set free by weightlessness.

Stardance combines artistic and humanistic themes with the backdrop of science and space exploration–exemplifying the grandeur, intrigue and promise of space, through the grace of dance unhindered by gravity.

The Stardance Experience is slated to be produced and presented in the 70/15 "Large Format" pioneered by the IMAX® corporation. The film will push the boundaries of the medium, combining live action and digital FX to create an emotional and visceral connection with the audience.

The Stardance Experience intends to help re-ignite humanity's fire to return to space - to reach and inspire everyday people and communicate the majesty, beauty, mystery and transcendence that await us all, just above our heads: the bliss of the stars. Only from that perspective can we hope to create futures that exemplify the best in humanity.

Our propensity to dream, dance, and evolve.

What makes humans unique in the galaxy may not turn out to be our science and technology, but our spirituality and art...

The Stardance Experience is inspired by Spider and Jeanne Robinson’s popular series of novels, Stardance (Dial Press 1979), Starseed (Ace Books 1991) and Starmind (Ace Books 1995). One might think of it as taking place in a parallel universe.

Our story follows dancer and dreamer Treya Anderson, an artist who has yearned all her life to break the bonds of gravity and create a brand new artform: zero-gravity dance. But Treya knows her dreams are likely to stay just that – dreams - and so she applies her art to translate that vision to an earthly stage, choreographing a dance for the company she directs that speaks of the unbound freedom of zero-G, and the unequalled peace and serenity to be found in space.

That dance's premiere catches the eye of maverick space industrialist Peter da Silva, perhaps the only person who not only shares her dream, but has the means to help her achieve it. With his encouragement and backing, Treya finds herself in High Orbit, preparing her first work of zero-G choreography for a planet-wide premiere.

But there may be a far larger audience watching than she, da Silva or anyone else suspects…
