As the sparks fly upwards...

Posted on June 29, 2008 at 9:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes

As the sparks fly upwards... is really on it's way now. The piece, which uses Isadora to bring live dancers and film clips together, had it's first showing last Friday with very positive results.

Lights are attached to dancers' bodies which are then tracked in the space by a camera and used by Isadora to trigger specific pre-recorded film clips. The movement is the same for the live and filmed dancers but the order is completely different. Sometimes in unison, sometimes in canon,… Continue

Interact with us

Posted on June 13, 2008 at 12:18pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

FireBox will be spending next week at the UK Theatre School courtesy of the Dance House working on new material for an interactive dance performance. The exciting part is...

that as well as being able to watch the FireBox dancers performing, you will also be able to get involved and get interacting with the piece. Don't worry you don't need to dance if you don't want to, you just have to be willing to hold a light and move around the room. Easy.

Come along on Friday 20th… Continue

The Practice Room, The Poles and The Paper

Posted on June 11, 2008 at 7:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes

It's been a busy time for FireBox recently with a few breakthroughs in terms of my degree project, the first draft of my masters due in and working on a dance film with some contemporary/pole dancers.

Isadora is starting to behave herself in the Practice Room at The Arches just in time for my Dance House creative lab at the UK theatre school next week. I've got nice LED lights to use as a trigger and the dancers have been working on some great sequences that will be used as the basis… Continue

Mini Makeover

Posted on April 20, 2008 at 3:07pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

The FireBox website has had a mini makeover this weekend with slicker page views and online videos. I'm trying to monitor how quickly the videos are streaming on different browsers and connections so please let me know what you think of the waiting time. The videos will open up in a new page so feel free to browse through the rest of the site while you're waiting.

These Things Happen

Posted on March 12, 2008 at 7:44am 0 Comments 0 Likes

These Things Happen when three dancers and one dancer/film maker follow instructions given by choreographer, Angus Balbernie at a Dance House research lab. Spontaneous, textured and very low-tech.

Following another failed attempt to hire any equipment I ended up using my own Mini DV and mobile to film improvisations at Angus' research lab. Angus had agreed to let me use the footage anyway I decided but I wasn't sure how to put it all together with it being on different formats and… Continue

sorry for the delay in replying ... I don't go into the dance-tech site very often at the moment - too much else to do! For my sins I cannot really recall you (it was along time ago ) - but your work at the Arches looks interesting. As I occasionally get up to Glasgow let me know what you are doing

I did the Master course last year with Katrina and Simon. Really worthwhile!
How're you getting on?
Sorry for my delayed reply I was quite busy!

Yeah I'd definately like to be part of your degree show! I don't usually have anything planned for Fridays, so hopefully I should be able to arrange some time off or sort something out for then, I'll speak to Sarah about it.

Also, the photos with the phone lights look great, very effective! Xx
