Dance and video performance. In certain states of consciousness (dreams for example), the human being experiences another body, a double of himself, in which he lives various experiments, most often without control. Sometimes both states (the physical body, and the other body) are felt simultaneously. A camera captures the dancer’s picture from a chosen viewpoint, that is shifted from the spectator’s viewpoint. Then the video-performer recomposes video in real-time and displays the processed video on a transparent screen for the dancer and the audience. DROP CROSSING’s creation implied the development of a « video instrument », which is a graphic interface allowing to manipulate the frames in an intuitive way, using a touchscreen. While at first sight the work on computer may seem to restrict physical expression, here the video-performer feelings permit interactive playing and therefore improvisation.

The HOMEMADE project fits into a collaborative interdisciplinary art approach. Composed of different people, it organizes itself and join them during performances sessions, in which the performers and processes change according to the place and the time of action.The performers’ gestures and the tools they develop are not hidden from the public, taking part into the creation process.
