The artistic innovations revolve around the idea of creating more perceptual units of dance movements.
Central to this process is the layering arrangement of sound and light as visual extensions of dance performance. In this piece each dancer’s shoes are wirelessly connected to a computer running a custom program written by Michael Heid that interprets and coordinates stage lighting, colour and intensity based on the dancers’ input.
This creates a symbiotic spectacle enhancing each performer’s movements and enriching the overall visual experience of the show. These sound and body movement visualizations are promising innovations to help deconstruct the stereotypical fabric of flamenco art, surprise the audience with a narrative material in live reinvention that takes apart all its elements and questions them experimentally, before putting them back together in seemingly random order.
