Drone Show Lights Up Waterloo - LUMEN LITE

Watch the sky above uptown Waterloo light up with over 100 choreographed drones that swarm and reconfigure to make images in the sky on September 25, 2021.

Working Methods, by Steph Yates, is a geometric ballet in the sky performed by 100 drones in choreography to the otherworldly, experimental music of Daphne Oram. Simple geometric shapes, made up of fixed lines and moving lines, dance in series as patterns of shifting form to 10 excerpts of Oram’s electronic compositions.

Daphne Oram (1925-2003) was a composer and pioneering force in electronic music. She designed and built the Oramics machine for creating “drawn sound” and founded the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Steph Yates is a multi-disciplinary artist, composer, and designer working primarily across video, sculpture, bookmaking, poetry, and song.
