Dear All I'm posting an update of my company to this list as it contains quite a few projects concerned with dance and technology. One day I'll find the time to explain the ChoreoGraph software in detail. In the meantime - if interested - there is a lot of info on the various websites mentioned below. Michael ------------------ Things are going well, so we thought that we would inform you of our upcoming events in case you find yourself at a loose end during one of these cold winter nights. First things first: Our biggest premiere yet. Nodding Dog 20th December 2001 Volksoper Vienna The creative team of Barriedale has gathered to produce an evening of Ballet for the Volksoper Ballett Company, Vienna. Nodding Dog¹ is accompanied by the Orchestra of the Volksoper and to achieve some non-linear ends we¹ve incorporated some of the technology that has been paying our way for the last few years. Nevertheless, be prepared to experience Barriedale¹s facelift and an evening of dance. !!Follow the progress and get your screensaver at http://www.noddingdog.at (designed by Rafal Kosakowski)!! Duplex Michael Klien¹s commission by Ballett Frankfurt will premiere on March 6th/7th at the TAT, Frankfurt. This Pas de Deux danced by Jone San Martin and Fabrice Mazliah is a major step in Barriedale¹s pursuit of non-linear choreography. supported by the ACE ProsXima¹s Drift The Greek company Prosxima joined the non-linear train last year by commissioning Nick Mortimore and Michael Klien to create a fluid work of dance. This they did and those involved were so happy with it that they decided to revive it for a Viennese audience. The Tanz Quartier Wien (TQW) invited them and it will be performed on the 7th, 8th & 9th of Feb 2002 at the HalleG, Museums Quarters Vienna. Research at TQW We will spend most of January 2002 at the Tanz Quatier Wien, researching and extending our choreographic methods that allow us to created the pieces we do. A public showing will take place on 12th January 2002, TQW; Vienna Aural Codes Volkmar Klien has just finished the first run of his 24/7 radio installation aural codes¹ (London, Manchester, Huddersfield).
