SOUL
SURVIVOR 1999 The 28-minute video of Dance Theatre of Ireland's SOUL SURVIVOR was composed by Tim Redfern, Dublin Institute of Technology, Digital Media Centre, who provided 3-d graphics for the production. The Video of Soul Survivor combines digital video of the performance piece with the original graphics and projections to re-create a new kind of theatrical performance on-screen. The projected imagery in SOUL SURVIVOR is composed of 3D computer animation, digitally treated timelapse video, automatically web-gathered imagery and digitally captured human movement (via motion-capture) with Edinburgh Virtual Environment Centre. The projections were composited using a desktop broadcast video workstation. Soul Survivor, choreographed by Dance Theatre of Ireland's Artistic Directors Robert Connor and Loretta Yurick, was made possible through the support of The Arts Council, DIT's Digital MediaCentre, EDVEC (Edinburgh Virtual Environment Centre) and SANYO. Dancers: Murine Bloomer, JJ Formento, Robert Connor, Olwen Grindley and Robert Jackson; Music: Fran Hegarty & John Ryan; Costumes: Marc O'Neil and Lighting: by Mark Galione " ....Dance Theatre of Ireland is among the most important explorers in the field of digital art" Ballet International (Nov. 2000) ONLY
HUMAN 2000 "We
have come to expect a lot from Dance Theatre of Ireland.
This latest show is one of their best..splendid soundscape and dancing...beautiful."
"A
strongly visual and subtle new work .an exciting new departure for
the Company.an array of visual delights and a parade of focused
dancing . "ONLY HUMAN" shows many signs of being 'human' in some of the best possible ways..excellent dancers.all fluid, fluent, highly worked bodies .ample supplies of good dancing. a delight to watch." ".
a gigantic white canvas on three sides. .intricate long shadows
thrown by the dancers. flooded by Mark Galione's alternately blue,
violet, yellow and red lighting . and mutated (at times) into a
giant movie screen.." "Dancing
the Light Fantastic...Sustained applause well deserved for the athletic
and controlled performances of the six dancers.fine dramatic score.stylish
black costumes by Marc O'Neill.well worth seeing." Ch.

EVIDENCE
2001 "Dance
Theatre of Ireland has broken new ground with EVIDENCE.Their
incursions into territory where technology and performance can flourish
have made a startling advance with video imaging now becoming a
virtual dancing partner.with inventive and subtle skill..the cinematic
effect is perfectly attuned to the choreographic intent.Robert Connor
& Loretta Yurick's brave concept is also beautifully realised by
the dancers. video design and animation (by Elena Doyle & Tim Redfern
leaves us with) closing images that resemble waving panels of stained
glass.. a wonderful energising triple bill." "Part
modern dance, part theatre, part performance art, part installation,
EVIDENCE is an experience not to be missed.the movements are
simply mesmerising.breathtaking.a powerful evening's entertainment..leave(s)
you speechless but the images will remain with you long after the
lights go down. Unmissable."
".very moving performances." "I
thought it was magnificent." |
