Hidden Fields reaction
Hidden Fields introduces a very interesting, new concept into the world of dance. The possibility of a dancer's movement affecting a projection changes the purpose of that projection. I actually had to watch the first video, the trailer, a few times to realize that the movement actually was affecting the projection, instead of the other way around. I enjoyed seeing the projection become a dancer in the sense that it moved with the performers. Watching the videos made me long to see the performances live. I wondered if I would focus more attention on the dancers or the projection. The possibility of the dancers literally being upstaged crossed my mind. I think this needs to be considered when this technology is used in a piece. It would be interesting to explore the endless possibilities involved with this technology and how it would fit into a performance.
