Theater der Klänge / Suite intermediale Part I
Duesseldorf, Germany
4 - 7 Feb '10
An intermedia dance composition
Musicians play instruments.
Dancers play spaces.
What happens if dancers turn space into an audio-visual instrument?
Who composes for this new instrument?
A dance concert consisting of 4 to 5 self-contained audio-visual compositions will be created collectively by a choreographer, a director, a composer, video-artists, a lighting designer and 6 performers / interpreters (i.e. where each dancer is also a musician).
Two new compositions will be developed in the autumn of 2009. The development period will last two months. Two or three more compositions twill follow in the late summer / early autumn of 2010.
The compositions will be thematically and aesthetically self-contained and should last 15-20 minutes, with the entire "Intermedia Suite" lasting about 90 minutes.
The visual level is the dance performance is on a three-dimensional video screen with ambient lighting. The auditory level is the electronic-sonic transformation of partly live, partly electronically generated sounds, interpreted and controlled by the movements of the active dancer.
Whereas a classical suite is music composed for a series stage dances, the intermedia suite is a series of audio-visual compositions played by the dancers themselves.
