hybrid
performance: (see also video
painting)
We
love to collaborate with others creatively, and when we
met a talented young choreographer/dancer, Ellen
McCarthy, we were so thrilled by the possibilities
of incorporating live dance into a projected performance
that we founded the 3minutes.net
project with her.
Some
of the events we've done video paintings and hybrid performance
for include in 2005 include -

Occasionally
we remember to take a few still photographs at these workshops,
and we'll made some available for use as free desktop
wallpapers in a variety of common sizes.
Choose
your preferred image to the right and your screen resolution.
If it's for your correct desktop setting size, it should
fit perfectly without stretching or distorting the image.
If you like a lot of plain space for your icons, choose
the 800x600 version.
If
you're interested in Hybrid Arts, New Media Arts, Multimedia
Arts or whatever you want to call it...
SuperVision
by the NY-based Builder's
Association was the stand-out event of the 2006 Perth
International Festival of the Arts, in our opinion. They
used layers of sliding screens to incorporate projection
into 'real live' actors walking about on the stage. Along
with being very cleverly staged, it was fascinating, articulate
and intelligent. If you get a chance to see it, or any
of their other productions, go for it.
Contrasted
was the $100+ per ticket six-hour marathon of the Dragon's
Tail, supposedly THE event of PIAF 2006, where projection,
at least to my mind, was just used as cheap set-dressing.
We survived about 4 hours and then gave up and went home.
You
couldn't have had a better contrast between the way projection
was used. Maybe being projection artists we're a bit more
concerned about these things than the average theatre-goer...
perhaps Projection As Decoration is OK... *shrug*
