A Dialog by Min Oh
An original performance that combines live and video action.
A Dialog follows different story strands describe comical tensions or conflicts occurring between two people --Min Oh, the video maker/performer and another Min Oh who is projected on the screen. The two Mins dance, fight, and play tricks on each other all based on the audiences collective choice.
This second version of A Dialog has several alterations from the first one with more dynamic choreography and even more evil stories.
Hidden Oras by VJ Shantell Martin, Sketch Projector
Using the latest drawing tablet technologies, Shantell illustrates the music that she hears, mesmerizing crowds with art that’s drawn in time with the beat. She projects her unique real-time illustrations onto walls, screens and sometimes the dancers themselves. Shantell says that she isn’t simply drawing, but rather, is reacting to the music, the dancers and the moment.
Originally Hidden Oras was planned to be a one off project is now a featured part of Martin's show. She ask a person to stand in front of a large projector screen for four minutes each, while she captures their moving Hidden Ora.
To do this she connects her computer to the projector, opens up the drawing software, plugs in my Wacom tablet, paints the background black, and she's ready to go. For four minutes she draws what she feel from that person. She composes their Hidden Ora.
