Ebb & Flow

Live-Coding | Performance | Workshop | Impro

As part of the summer project at the Basel Academy of Art and Design FHNW, I led a workshop that explored the possibilities of combining live music, improv dance and performative live coding. Various improv sessions took place over the course of a day under the guiding theme of "Ebb & Flow". The interplay and reaction between the three performers in the areas of music, visuals and dance is an essential part of the overall performance. The visuals, coded in real time with p5.js, react to inputs from the music (audio feed) and the dancer (motion tracking via camera input) and are projected onto a screen with which the dancer can interact.
