GENESIS

 

Genesis is a dance performance with reactive music that depicts the concept of the empowerment in self-realization.  A single dancer is bediened with sensors that detect her movement and muscle activity.  Music is synthesized in real-time, and data from the sensors is used to control various aspects of the sound.  The dancer's movement represents a metaphorical birth, which analogized her realization that she has the power to control her physical and auditory environment.
