Our Story

Otmo has been developed by Alexander Whitley Dance Company, an artist-led creative studio that has been redefining the boundaries of dance for over a decade through pioneering work with digital technology. The company produces work across stage, screen, immersive and interactive platforms, combining physical and digital elements to create unique movement-based experiences.

Otmo has emerged from this innovative environment, where world-class expertise in dance was seamlessly integrated with advanced software engineering and design thinking. The foundation of Otmo is built on the belief that movement is a universal language and a force for good in the world, while technology serves as a powerful means of amplifying culture.

As rapid advancements in spatial computing and artificial intelligence began to blur the lines between physical and digital realms, Alexander Whitley Dance Company recognized the potential to capture this creative energy. Thus, Otmo was born—a platform designed to foster an innovative, accessible, and user-friendly space for creativity in movement.
