[http://dance.ohio-state.edu/files/Dance_and_Technology/environ.html] Exploring new environments for interactive dance, the lab ensemble has created a series of performed installations since 1999. Different spatial constellations (sculptural constructions, suspended objects, territories, natural/organic and artificial textures, projections), surreal costumes, movements, and digital media were combined to evoke sensual and visceral intensities which express our ambivalent relationship to virtual space. ìGhost Islandî includes several digital films and strands of narrative delving into the subconscious of the performersí experience in isolated/insulated environments (island, prison cell, monastery, abandoned house, childhood). The performance involves the audience in the constant shift between present location and images transmitted from remote sites or captured from memories of isolation. The dance in ìGhost Islandî is movement-in-between, evoking transitional stages in our lives and imaginations, stages of lightness and darkness, stages of uncertainty of belonging. touring dates: March 31, 2001, 7:oo pm, Kulturfabrik Alte Patrone Festival Intermediale, Mainz, Germany ***************************************************************** Festival INTERMEDIALE and the 7.
