Palindrome
Palindrome is a performance group that uses Motion Tracking technology.
The keyword is "interaction" -- using bio-sensors and other technology, music, lighting or video projections are controlled by the dancers' movement. This is hard to imagine. That is why there are a lot of videos at this web site.
A little history...
Palindrome was founded in New York City in 1982, moved to Nürnberg, Germany in 1988. Its a kind of dance company, but because its director, Robert Wechsler, has a penchant for science and technology (he studied genetics alongside dance) Palindrome has an unusual focus: to combine science and technology with dance.
The company's first invitation, however, had nothing to do with science. It came from the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway. Wechsler had made a dance which brought the figures in the paintings of Edvard Munch to life. The project, "Lovers in Waves", was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship and with additional support from the Marshal Fund of Norway Palindrome set out on the first of what was to become regular European touring.
Together with artists from around the world, dozens performance productions and installation art works have been made. The city of Nürnberg has supported the company steadily since 1990 and they have received a number of important awards.
In 1995 Palindrome entered the computer age and joined forces with an engineer and interactive systems designer named Frieder Weiss. While the partnership broke up in 2006, work with interactive technology remains a strong interest.
In 2005 and 2006, Palindrome created two multi-media operas (well, operas are always "multi-media" aren't they?): Brother/Sister with music by Erling Wold and Jenseits der Schatten with music by Vladimir Tarnopolsky. Both were warmly received by the press.
