- from 9pm VISUAL CONTACT MOVES

Visual contact moves
Alexander Peschka (a.k.a Vijay Sikanda) & Peggy Sylopp will join for the first time to combine their way of work and to improvise together visually. Coming from different backgrounds (event & projection art versus art installation & performance) they will try to make a fusion between their aproaches. In this Session the dancers will have the opportunity to play with their siluettes and projections on their bodies and experiment with feedback and different digital effects. You can see a collaboration with dancers and musicians created for online viewing on his website in the menue at selecting av-improv. Graphical objects, poetic underwater ambience, vividly coloured environments of lights and shapes react on body motions Slight movements multiplied into the light game of a virtual kaleidoscope: dancing bodies captured in the beauty of the maths phenomen of fractals
