EFFECT
EFFECT is a commissioned choreographic work for collaborative project BETWEEN OF US initiated by Staatstheater Mainz - Tanzmainz & Kunsthalle Mainz & Motion Bank.
The performance explores the effects of movement. How do dance and our perception of it change, for example when the people involved, the lighting conditions or the distances change? How does information change and what remains of it? A red-hot question in times of fake news and flood of data. Originally EFFECT has been the starting point for a nationwide unique project that brought dance, visual arts and science together.
The dance piece by Taneli Törmä was recorded and digitalized with the help of motion capturing and other novel processes. The data obtained were made available to six contemporary artists invited by the Kunsthalle Mainz. The choreography, the light design, and the composition served as open sources for new works of art inspired by it. Now it is shown as an independent piece of dance like it always was.
