Essexdance is
supporting Fleur Darkin with a commission of £4,000 towards the
production of Augustine. The development of this work was initiated
through essexdance’s Digi-Lounge Residencies in Chelmsford and
Newcastle in 2004. |
| Augustine begins touring at the
end of 2006 and continues throughout 2007. If you'd like to receive information on this event or other professional events please email essexdance |
|
| In April 2007 essexdance worked with Canadian based artists Karmen Franinovic and Alexander Wilson to present the installation Hinge_Dimension at the Enter_ Festival in Cambridge. |
| Lush imagery vibrates against funnel clouds of physicality as Troika Ranch presents its layered integration of dance, theatre and digital media. “16 [R]evolutions” is an innovative multimedia work from New York based company Troika Ranch. Using live camera tracking technology and Troika Ranch's unique
software programme "Isadora", the movements of the dancers generate
interactive 3D imagery in real-time. See a video preview at www.troikaranch.org/16revs |
