Indistinct Boundaries : a dance collaboration

Concept

This piece was a collaborative project developed by Jane Franklin and myself for a performance at The Woolly Mammoth Theater’s experimental space in Washington DC. For this project, we decided to explore the topic of in-between spaces and we wanted to try to blur the distinction between the performance and the projected image. I was interested in using chance and randomness as part of my process and developed original music compositions and animation for the 22 minute performance. One of the sequences was developed by Rassamee Ruangsri, a talented artist and animator in Denver and she chose to work with ameoba-like forms that appear to communicate and interact with each other. All of the animations were projected over the dancers bodies as they performed, creating another dimension of movement through their shadows.

Temporal Interference: an interactive dance collaboration


Temporal Interference is a collaboration with the Jane Franklin Dance that explores the concept of space and the interference created through motion. Three dancers interact with each other and one of the earliest forms of electronic instruments – a Theremin. The Theremin is used not for it’s sound, but for it’s ability to detect proximity caused when a person disrupts a radio signal. This disruption is measured and controls live video and electro-acoustic sound generated on a laptop. The entire piece is a 22 minute performance created in 5 sections. Original synthetic sound and video by Bryan Leister and additional compositions from musician Gina Biver.
