The Changing Room
by Carol Brown Dances with Mette Ramsgard Thomsen

Ludwig Forum, Aachen, Germany
5th & 6th June 2004
2100 hrs

The Changing Room is a performance event incorporating real and virtual spaces. Choreographed for three performers and a virtual other, it takes place within an interactive room.

Embedded within the furniture of the room are a series of screens through which a virtual presence is rendered, mirroring, extending and distorting the dancers behaviour. In playing with these images the dancers inhabit unfamiliar and strange dimensions. A mirror becomes a screen for their mutations.

With original music by Jerome Soudan [Mimetic], lighting design by Michael Mannion [Eye for Detail]   and costumes by Shanti Freed.   Performed by Catherine Bennett, Delphine Gaborit and Carol Brown.

Funded by Arts Council England, University of Brighton and the Ludwig Forum Prize
