NAKED TRUTH (Work in Progress, 2011)

Riveting trio created by Maida Withers and performed by seasoned international dance artists interacting in real-time with stunning visual animations and electronic music. "There's a zest and ease to Naked Truth with its restful, friendly partnerships intertwining and separating and then re-aligning." (Lisa Traiger, Dance View, Washington, DC, November 2010) Computer images create a responsive environment for sound and movement (data) based on free interpretation of physics algorithms. Electronic music and movement disturb and alter the visual environment.

WORK IN PROGRESS - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION UNTIL FALL 2011.
Naked Truth is being created by Maida Withers and performed by three seasoned international dance artists. In future performances laser light beams will form a grid near the floor that is visible on stage. Dancers movement through the grid will change the motions/color/speed of the projected cyber scenarios/computer images by Tania Fraga. Computer images create a responsive environment for sound and movement (data) based on free interpretation of physics algorithms. Electronic music and movement disturb and alter the visual environment.
