These are sections of the technical rehearsal of piece Blocks of Continuality/Body, Image, and Algorithm by Koosil-ja/danceKUMIKO at Dance Theater Workshop in NYC.
In the first section a constellation of video and image samples is presented to the dancers and they create the dance making movement decisions based in the presented images.
In the second section the sound is created by the brain waves of one musician which activate a bot that hits the wall of the theater (after a very didactic moment). Dancers control 3D and environments avatars with wii remotes attached to their bodies.
It opens March 3rd 2010
