Current debates on
telepresence and telematic forms of communication most often revolve around notions of immediacy and virtual representation. Following Bergson's idea of two memories: "recollection memory" turned towards the past and "contraction memory" oriented towards the future, this telematic performance proposes a mobile, 2-way site involving dance and sound that tests these notions of memory and their link to the perception of time and space.

| Paroles trouvées (2007) | ||
 |
Conceived with composer-conceptor Dominique Besson, Paroles Trouvées is an immersive installation composed of three intertwined scores : musical, videochoreographical and hydromechanical (optical). Interacting and synthesizing at times, the sound and visual environments, equally present, operate on the spectator’s receptivity in a new way. | |

| La morsure : Installation (2000) | ||
 |
Proposing an intimate dialogue between
computer and spectator, the installation La
morsure employs
a narrative generator, touch sensitive interactivity and choreographic
gesture as means to tell a story. Promoting a non-linear approach to narrative
and offering several points of view onto the choreography, the work alternately
places spectators in the role of passive witnesses of the story being
revealed in real-time or as participants influencing the course of the
narrative and "responsible" for its outcome. |
|
| La morsure : CD-ROM (1998 - 2001) | ||
 |
A project combining
dance, video, poetry and new technology, La morsure
is a digitally interactive choreography inspired by Julio Cortazar's poem
Le bûcher où brûle une on the themes of desire
and betrayal. Establishing a dialogue between the computer and the spectator
in which the virtual aspect of the creative process can be shared, the
work proposes a new dance aesthetic and audience experience. Spectators
participate in the elaboration of a choreography from a bank of over 400
virtual video images and in promoting a new approach to choreographic
narrative and a more sensorial approach to images, the work also challenges
how one views dance |
