Freeplay - BRS by Maria Coleman


Body Response System @ Project Brand New from Maria Coleman on Vimeo.

I got to go to this yesterday - a more recent version now called Freeplay, in the Crypt of Christchurch  and I was blown away by the experience. The combination of analog dance and sax with electronic gadgetry was delightful.
Apparently the backprojected visuals (not seen in this earlier version) use ISADORA which I learnt a tiny bit about in second year.

Maria is doing her PhD currently, but when she is past that, Autumn 2011, we hope to meet up and exchange ideas.

She said she had seen my Balance piece on YouTube and liked it; and her cameraman said he remembered seeing the Wrinkley's Playhouse at NCAD and thought it was strong.
Oh I do love 'strokes' like those.
