Character in Motion piece

Hi guys,

I chose Janet Randell's piece 'Dream Fantasy'

Now this is an interesting one as I feel as the life form software is being used to show the limitations of a dancer’s environment, rather than the actual dancing. Here the performance starts as a ballet, then the environment changes to water so the dancer swims. The environment then changes to ice so the dancer is almost figure skating. It finishes with the dancer dancing in air. It demonstrates how the body reacts and uses the environment it is contained in. It is only through technology that this dance sequence could take place. It is, as the title suggests, a dream dance, as reality could never be apart of it. Janet Randell has created a dance that can only exist in this multimedia world. For me, this is the one of the most strongest aspects of life forms software.
