Equilibrist

zentrum paul klee, bern, switzerland

Role: Creative Technician and Spatial Design

 

Equilibrist fuses live motion tracked dance, utilising video mapping, projection and sound to create a unique live cinema event at Zentrum Paul Klee.

Digitally redrawn elements of Paul Klee’s work - specifically, Der Seiltanzer and Portrait of an Equilibrist - become the virtual scaffolding for a playful search with the human figure in space. Realtime effects generate physical traces, echoes and displacements which are triggered through sensor reprocessed performances.

Conceived and Directed : Daniel Belton & Good Company Arts.

Dancers : Daniel Belton and Tom Ward. 

Spatial Design : Stuart Foster and Joshua Lewis
