Adagio And Projection Interaction Workshop
On the 10th of January 2015 Cassy Turner, Tristan Maitland, and I explored the interaction between projections of footage Marianthe Loucataris and I had taken at lake Seppings and then further processed to overlay static images over moving. This exploration was inspired by hearing about Peta Tait's PhD 'Circus Bodies: Cultural Identity in aerial performance'.

Questions
How do the mediums of projections and adagio interact?
How do the dynamics work of the live performer interact with the prerecorded edited projections?
Aesthetics of shadows and double shadows from multiple light sources?
How to further develop this type of work?

During the workshop process we added a mirror behind the projector so that Cassy could see the image from an audience perspective and direct her movements in relation to the water. In earlier explorations her movements were much more general. Ideally the projected footage would be mixed live by a visual DJ and some level of choreography could be attained while keeping aspects of improvisation.
One of the more interesting visual effects is when Tristan rotates Cassy and her shadow performs elongation and shortening which contrasts the close mirroring that occurs the rest of the time. Ideally for further deeper development we'd like a space with dance mirrors, multiple projectors, aerial equipment, circus performers, time, and finally, for someone to overlay projection mapping over the top of the choreography like these.
