Kun je met technologie improviseren op de vloer in een theatermaakproces? Hoe moet je zoiets doen? Zaterdag 19 juni 2010 Toegang is gratis – reserveren niet nodig Download de Flyer. Het gebruik van technologie in het theater is zo oud als het theater zelf. Hedendaagse technologische ontwikkelingen gaan echter zo snel dat theatermakers niet alle innovaties kunnen bijhouden en integreren. In een theatermaakproces waar improvisatie en maken op de vloer een rol speelt lijkt complexe technologie vaak een belemmering voor de creatieve flow van het moment. Zowel technologie als de maker moeten zich aanpassen om samen te kunnen werken. Deze theatrale lezing, een zogenaamde Performance Lecture, is een lezing met illustratieve theatrale momenten, geïnspireerd door Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. Hiervoor wordt Continue reading Performance Lecture Interface This is the full video registration of the Performance Lecture Mixed Reality given on the 17th of december 2009 in the Akademie theater in Utrecht.

On Saturday 7th of november at 13:30 we gave a live presentation of the Performance Engine v0.4 at the Central Museum Studio. This presentation was part of the afternoon program of ‘Niemandsland – Utrecht meets Berlin’. Organized by Born Digital. In this 50 minute presentation we show all major features of the Performance Engine and give some insight on its research context and development philosophy. The 50 minute video below is divided into six chapters, so you have a choice of watching the full presentation or jump right to the part that has your particular interest. Read a brief description of the chapters below the video (click on the ‘Continue reading…’ link). This video is entirely in Dutch though, for an English version please have a look at a similar presentation we did in september in Huis ad Werf. Please select your preferred resolution (360p /480p / 720p) in the player toolbar after pressing the play button for better videoquality. Pressing the button right next to the play button (left side) will show you the thumbnails of all 7 video parts. Or use simply the arrow buttons to browse through them.

Häcka is an experiment with video projection on translucent screens. The performance is designed to be a loop that could potentially run forever. A queen is floating in abstract space absorbing energy of dead moths lying on the floor. When critically energized she gives birth to a new generation of moths. They fly around the space and eventually die and drop to the floor. Their life energy is floating upward and is being absorbed by the queen closing the perfect cycle of life and death. When the the flock of new moths die and fall to the floor a large quantity of paper moths fall from the theatre ceiling in front of the audience in an attempt to give the moths a physical presence. Because of the light situation the video camera’s have captured only a fraction of the actual piece. In the very first 2 minutes of the full video presentation of the Performance Lecture Mixed Reality an impression of the actual performance can be seen. Or have a look at the photos below for better quality images. Foto’s: Lucinda Bouten, Stefanie Bonte, Kimberly van Eijk, Joris Weijdom.

The second student project group has been researching the potential of live drawing with light on 3D objects. Although they had many ideas the end result focuses on the simple aesthetics of live drawing itself. The white character head has been designed with a 3D computer program, printed out on paper and folded into an analogue 3D head. A procedure briefly explained in video chapter three of the full video registration of the Performance Lecture Mixed Reality Below you can see the chapter four video showing the Tabula rasa performance. In the second half of this video Marcel Alberts gives his reflection on the piece. Scroll further down to see the photos for a quick impression.

The third student project group got fascinated by a shadow having its own life. In order to project a shadow that could be animated and at the same time have a front projection for the performer and objects was quite a challenge. Also they managed to do a simple 3D projection map on the physical cube. A girl appears on stage and sees a large box. When touching the box a strange thing happens; her shadow gets a life of her own. The girl tries to gain control over the shadow in a struggle with light and darkness. Eventually she destroys the box and restores order. However this is not quite the end… Below you can see the chapter seven video from the the Performance Lecture Mixed Reality showing the Return to sender performance. In the second half of this video Marcel Alberts gives his reflection on the piece. Scroll further down to see the photos for a quick impression.

This last student project group took the Droste effect, the endless repetition of an image in an image, as the starting point of their research. This ancient effect still has the power to mesmerize the audience. What will happen if somebody loses their ball in a painting that is depicting the space where the painting hangs? Although the effect seems to be a simple live video feedback, suddenly the effect becomes much more complex, both technically and conceptually… Below you can see the chapter twelve video from the the Performance Lecture Mixed Reality showing the Schildeurij performance. In the second half of this video Marcel Alberts gives his reflection on the piece. Scroll further down to see the photos for a quick impression.
