HELIOPOLIS (29 mins. excerpts)

2015-03-21T10:18:48.853Z

Ventura Dance Company's Dance-Media performance "Heliopolis".

“… Soon fluttered its secret on white highway and brown byway to the rose of the winds and blew of the gaels…”
James Joyce's Finnegans Wake

Heliopolis builds a fictitious urban utopia within a Performance-Installation. A light sculpture hovers over Heliopolis like an obelisk, a relic from thousands of years of urban city cultures lighting the temples of consumption. It’s citizens are continuously “scanned” and tracked as transparent actors leaving a trail of their presence as they interact with the city and its sounds.
A reflection on humanity in the context of global metropoles of today and tomorrow such as Shanghai, or Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis" or Los Angeles in 2019 (as depicted by Ridley Scott’s film Blade Runner).

On stage a video screen depicts the chronological journey of a person throughout a day in the city of Shanghai, whilst five dancers interpret the “Replicants” of the film Blade Runner. Their movement patterns increasingly breaking down as they struggle to no avail for an extension of their existence.
An interplay between a complex choreography and a dynamic audiovisual scenography is presented simultaneously, polyphon and even dissonant for the audience to find a poli-logical order of the audio-visual impressions presented.

Technology
The soundtrack of Heliopolis was created through the combined use of camera motion tracking and gesture recognition software. Four “Hot Spots” and sensors continuously tracked dancers movements to generate layer upon layer of city sounds in combination with Blade Runner’s film soundtrack and the composers of Heliopolis music. (Software: Chris Ziegler / Music: Electroscape).
Videos recorded in Shanghai were manipulated through the use of software and are projected on to the stage (Software Daniel Bisig). The choreography was created through computer
generated movements, providing credibility to the characters of the film that the dancers portray.

Langsamer Wendepunkt - An Emological Symphony (Preview)

2014-03-17T19:30:00.086Z

Performance at 100 Grad Festival / Sophiensaele
Adress: Sophienstraße 18, 10178 Berlin-Mitte

The Emological Symphony or Langsamer Wendepunkt is an ode to the twisted relation between human and technology. The ode is based on the biological data we collect within the serene situation of a laboratory context. In this situation biological and technical organs work together and search for a new common emotional and logical state in our Zeitgeist.
We may not find the exact answer in this BETA-stage of this project- but we may present you a biological electronic symphony in its early stage.

A production by WCOMTC- merging technological costume design, lecture performance, visible sound, philosophical science and technology.

Direction/ Choreography: Monika Dorniak
Technic/Arduino: Sarah Hermanutz
Costume Design: Johanna Schraut
Sound: Lukas Grundmann
Performer: Mab Cardoso, Naemeh Shirazi, Lisa Shirin Hillers, Rochi Marano

Román Torre Interview

2010-11-17T16:40:01.575Z

In anticipation for the Avatar* performances in Colchester and Luton, we had a video conference with Roman Torre, the digital artist of Erre que Erre, about the piece, how it was formed, the technical details and challenges. From his living room in Barcelona, he gave us an idea about the long investigation they carried out, roughly from December 2008, until the final completion of the piece. After almost two years of rehearsals and research (which can all be found in their blog http://avatarsolo.blogspot.com/), Avatar will be touring after the UK, in Holland, Spain and Latin America.
