Recent Dance Collaborations

Was involved in two very different, but interesting dance collaborations recently.

1. Dance Video with Ming Poon and Daniel K

It was a great learning experience, and a draft for future collaborations (I hope) – and the first time i am working with ‘professional’ dancers. They moved beautifully, and I wish there was more time to do their beauty justice. Had to do pre-production, shoot, edit and submit in roughly a week because of the window of availability for all 3 of us.

2. Dance collaboration with Alice Tan

An extract from the piece presented. This was the project mentioned in the earlier posts, working with Alice (a Level 2 dance student in Lasalle College of the Arts) on a ‘live’ feed interaction with dance. The title of her piece is Bondage and it was presented last Tuesday (15th) in Lasalle.

I’m sure the idea has been done to death before, but it was still an interesting experiment for me. I was fascinated by the self perpetuating nature of the light ‘loop’ from a ‘live’ video to the projector. i.e. Light from the projector feeds the ‘live’ feed which in turn feeds the projector – since the projector is the single light source in the room.

The setup was relatively straightforward – no frills, but i was happy with the result as a ‘work in progress’. Ming has a cameo in the middle of the performance.
