Contact Light Improvisation

Interactive art vjing for moving bodies in three parts by Peggy Sylopp
For DANCE ON SCREENS Peggy Sylopp adapts interactive video installations, originally concepted and
realized for various places and conditions, to try out together with the dancers a kind of virtual contact
improvisation.

Part one

Graphical objects, poetic underwater ambience, vividly coloured environments of lights and shapes
react on body motions,

Part two
the image of the dancer gets percievable through movement – vanishes in stillness

Part three
Slight movements multiplied into the light game of a virtual kaleidoscope: dancing bodies captured in
the beauty of the maths phenomen of fractals.
Electronic music and experimental sounds by Giovanni Longo

kinds of performing arts (music, theatre, pantomime, dance) and worked then on photography,
experimental film and video predominantly in environments for stage. In the last years she focalizes
her work on live acts and installations with real time generated (3d) graphics, live video input, sound
controlled computer graphics and motion tracking.

sound installations with integration of visual arts and sculpture elements like found objects and

experience to the listeners.
