Spring 2010, Recoil Performance Group, Dansescenen
Together with Recoil Performance Group (choreographer Tina Tarpgaard and programmer Ole Kristensen), we created this danceperformance at Dansescenen. Like Frost we developed our own software that was tracking the 4 dancers live on stage, and generating various outputs on 2 projectors.
The show premiered at Dansescenen in Copenhagen, and has been shown in Firenze 2010 and Stockholm 2010.

Fall 2009, Danish Dance Theatre, Hippodromen
Dance performance made together with Danish Dance Theatre, Tina Tarpgaard (choreographer), and Ole Kristensen. All the software that generated the scenographics with one projector, was created by me and Ole in approx. 1 month in OpenFrameworks.
The show won in 2010 a Reumert for best dance performance, has been shown several times in Copenhagen, and has been on tour to Amman (Jordan) and Århus (Denmark)
Spring 2009, Recoil Performance Group, Copenhagen
Ole Kristensen and i developed the interactive scenography for this dance performance, choreographed by Tina Tarpgaard. I was on the project in the early programming states for a couple of weeks, helping Ole with programming all the ideas there where, and developing the visual style that Ole then would work further on until the premiere.

Recoil Performance Group, spring 2008
Choreographer Tina Tarpgaard, Recoil Performance and my good friend, programmer Ole Kristensen invited me to help them create body navigation. The body navigation performance was originally part of a larger installation and modern dance performance in copenhagen, by Tim Rushton, Danish Dance Theatre called Labyrint. We had one room out of five rooms to make body navigation in.
Body navigation is a reactive floor-projection where dancers can dance on together with a digital reproduction of themselves. It consist of a camera tracking the dancers on the floor, and a projector that creates a image on the floor around and on the dancers. With this system we where able to create connections and visual images about human relations and emotions that where not otherwise possible.
Ole and I developed a application built in Processing based on a concept developed by Tina Tarpgaard and Ole to track the dancers and create the visuals projected down again. All controlled live by Tina with a control panel developed with Isadora under the performances.
Our part of the show has been touring around the world for several years (Holland, Firenze, Geneva, Brazil, England and more)
