A breadcrumb trail of project notes
The first blog post from the ITP/Dance collaboration is up. It has videos of the dancers improvising with video pieces that Leif and I did. Leif’s is used in Time and Hands, and mine is used in the Subway videos. We’re still very alpha at this stage, but even from this second meeting it’s clear that this will be a great collaboration.
Our final piece will deal with the theme of The City and ideas like compression/decompression, crowds, public/private space and so on. What’s great is that everyone is approaching it with the goal of making everything integrated with the theme (no eye candy for eye candy’s sake, and choreography done in coordination with the technology). We techies set up our video toys, the dancers improvised and Chrisanty got all of us to participate in some dance exercises. Pollie has wonderfully volunteered to document and the videos of work in progress will help us keep up the momentum that’s already building.
