'Frozen White'

Produced and directed by Stan Wijnans, interactive performance 'Frozen =
White' is a technically elaborate mixed media performance which =
addresses states of being and becoming: what would happen if people =
incarcerated in medical institutions were suddenly able to control a =
liberating technology? Against a stunning video backdrop dancers emerge =
from comatose rigidity to a state of utter abandon, shadowed by a =
restless musical improvisation. Utilising the Soundbeam Ultralight =
Sensor System the dancers colour and influence thelive music and =
determine its atmosphere. Their dramatic ascent
into consciousness is both uncanny and ecstatic - and  their =
increasingly assured grip on the mechanisms of control offers a =
fascinating study of empowerment.=20
Presented by London Musicians' Collective.=20
With dancers Julia Clarke and Gabriela Solini; musicians Gail Brand =
(trombone), Rhodri Davies (harp) and Steve Noble (percussion);  Anne =
Nigten (video); Nick Rothwell (computer programming); and Stan Wijnans: =
soundeffect design, video, mixdown.

PLUS

'building'

Phil Durrant (laptop, live processing) and Sophia Lycouris (movement, =
video) build a palpably architectural environment
in 'building'. Through dynamic interaction and intricate improvisation, =
they erect an edifice with the beguiling allure of a mirage glimpsed =
through a desert storm. Phil Durrant and Sophia Lycouris=20
