I would love to see this and it could easily be incorporated into a darkened environment
through the midi triggered lightshow. Directed lights with varying apertures could create
lights with substance. Shapes within the audience and projected nearby to produce the
illusion that the dancer is within the lights and the associated tones.
One possible conflict is if the show is too literal, it might interfere with the
imagination in a contrary way. Even with eyes closed (how I dance most often) flashes
from outside interrupt rather than add stimulous to what I am imagining.
Lower lights keep the internal show going and allow for surreal zero gravity effects.
Personally, I have been seeking technical interest and collaboration on a suit that would
generate and manipulate sounds and/or visual information. Reverse dancing, more or less.
Spoken word, drum sequence and triggered samples could all be relatively easily produced
with this group of sensors. Working out interface and musical interaction are the only
stumbling blocks.
Please feel free to contact me regarding anything of interest and in a productive
direction. Perhaps with a little critical mass development funds/facilities can be
discovered.
