Hi Johannes, just a note to say I have replied to your post, which I very much appreciated. I presented a paper at this year`s PSI conference through my avatar Rollo Kohime from my Second Life railway station - found the whole event quite interesting from this removed platform. I have also just presented my work to my peers and supervisors two weeks ago in Auckland at our week-long conference there and met a wonderful dancer, Brent Harris, who ironically watched my paper presentation in Zagreb at the PSI conference. The synchronicity of 'intimate distance'!

Looking forward to liaising,

Best, Mike

Corpo, Carne e Espírito (world premiere)


Teatro Klauss Vianna/Oi Futuro
27/06 – 19h 28/06 – 17h 29/06 – 20h


The digital oratorio Corpo, Carne e Espírito (Body, Flesh and Spirit), created by Johannes Birringer (digital choreography) and Paulo C. Chagas (music), premieres at the 9th International Theatre Festival of Belo Horizonte (Brasil) on June 27-29, 2008, featuring an ensemble of musicians and vocalists, and a triptych of film projections and animations inspired by the figural paintings of Francis Bacon. The work investigates the invisible forces of the human body in the contexts of new music composition (electronic and acoustic), interactive technology, and immersive environments.

The music for this audiovisual work was composed by Paulo C. Chagas, inspired by the paintings of bodily deformations and anamorphoses in Bacon's oeuvre. It features three voices (soprano, counter-tenor, baritone), string quartet, percussion and electronic sounds that are integrated in the visual and performance environment designed by Johannes Birringer. The oratorio is conducted by Mr Chagas; live programming of the image movements, projected onto a curved triptych of screens upstage behind the musicians, is performed by Mr. Birringer.

The compositional plan for this performance of Corpo, Carne e Espírito was developed at the International Interaktionslabor, the annual media lab directed by Birringer in Göttelborn, Germany, since 2003 (http://interaktionslabor.de). During their residency at FIT Theatre Festival, Mr Birringer and Mr Chagas will conduct workshops in composition and digital performance. The oratorio will tour European venues in 2009.

Hola from NYC

dear Yukihiko, --
yes, sure, go ahead. thanks for creating the group.

you will be pleased to hear that our last concert (Friday night) of showing Suna no Onna was very wonderful, i think the piece has grown and improved, and we felt it was visually so much stronger, as were the performances and the lighting/colors. We are all quite pleased. see our gallery:

Dear Johannes and Marlon,

In my last post, Forum means "Forum" in this dance-tech.net. If possible, we will be able to create that for the project and related subject.

Hi Johannes,
How about construting any forum or communities in this dance-tech.net

Warmest Regards,
Yukihiko Yoshida

hi Marlon
ah, yes, that;'s what i guess, so that is how some of these maneuvers work. that also means the web and these websites or "social sites" will become more and more cross referential and self referential. interesting.
thanks for your response.

Hello j,
yes, I read the email in the dance-tech list from Hellene and your response in the list. I know their work so I decided to do a search inside you tube. I found and account and I am almost sure that is theirs.
See that the video is been fed from You tube. So, I grabbed the embed code and put it inside the post. Simple.
If there copyright infringement there might be problems for the person that uploaded it not from the "embedders". Also a lot od You Tube users disable the embedding function if they don't want their video to be placed in another sites.
I guess that they want people to do so.
Let me know if this answers you question.

Hi Johannes.

I have been reading about you for quite some time. Must say it was a pleasant surprise when I saw your response in the forum today. I'm at osu now in d & t. So where are you now? (island?) Anyway - I'm glad to be in contact with the man who developed my program!

Hello Johannes thank you for invitation to this site.
