INTRO
„Wo immer der Wind weht ...!" is a dance piece made with the ballet school Tanz im Lichthaus and performed in Bremen in July 2015. Thematically, it leads against the backdrop of the Lichthaus and its vicinity through the seasons.
The year unfolds in 13 stations. The sound compositions of Antonio Vivaldi, among others, accompany the dancers from one station to the next, under the dramatic direction of Carolin Böse-Krings.
Key challenges
One seasonal arc in thirteen stations
Filmed dancers beside live dancers
Animation cued to the choreography
TRACKED LIGHT
The projection ran on the system Raummaschine had built for its stage work: Kinect cameras following the performers, several projectors, and software written in Processing and Pure Data. The same setup carried the stilt performances IMAGO CAELI and IMAGO FLORIS.
Team Raummaschine produced several dance videos for the piece. They were integrated within the dance, together with animation scenes made for a choreographic interaction between projection and dancers.
