caught.catching is an
interactive environment for solo dancer, video, and sound created by
David Bithell (composer and video artist) and Ellie Leonhardt
(choreographer and dancer). The meditative soundscape and visual
imagery (still photos of the dancer “caught” and filtered video of
hypnotic rainfall) switch their behavior in response to the movement
choices of the performer.
It was premiered September 2010 at a works-in-progress showing at Dance
New Amsterdam, NYC. The first video at right is a performance from the
2010
Texas Dance Improvisation Festival at the Barnevelder Movement/Arts
Complex in Houston, TX.
At present we are developing a 3-channel interactive installation
version of the same piece (the last video is a mockup of this).
In this form, audience members are
able to trigger each of the three screens to change their behavior
state based upon their movement through the gallery space.
