Neon Dance –Empathy
My impression was that it contained good ideas that needed
to be further explored. An example of this is the laser I found myself
contemplating whether the laser was harmful to the performers in terms of the narrative,
as sometimes they would perform a movement response when in contact but this
was not consistent. However I felt that the performers coped with the lasers
well, as they had to focus on spatial awareness as the dimensions of the space
were changing.
The performers were wearing masks impairing their vision and
ability to be aware of the laser. They handled this well and it did not affect
the performance level. The dynamics switched quickly, I could see the performers
had no problem adjusting so it was clear it was well rehearsed. The prop at the
beginning confused me and I felt that it should have been explained, as I was
unable to make a connection with the performer. Despite this I could see that
the performer was working along the side the prop with ease not putting too
much weight forward that would damage the prop. Personally I would change the
relationship between the performer and laser.
