Creative Tech Week

"The Digital Realm" is a performance project that combines live movement , spoken word , costume , two and three dimensional animated projection and custom designed software which enables the projected elements to be controlled in real time. Using digital space as an allegorical take off point , poetic text that describes the relationship between two metaphorical characters is employed to emotionally and intellectually create a deep seated connection between the performer and the projected world. The animation, projection , custom software and costume is by Phyllis Bulkin Lehrer. Movement and voice is by Ashley Rose Lehrer . This project was first presented in 2012 with the interactive elements linked by Wii controllers. This 2016 version will use the technology of the Kinect2 via Andrew McWilliams fabulous addon from PC to Mac. There will be projection mapping as well as expanded versions of the text and movement. Additional interactive ceramic props will be included.During the two hour installation environment each night, there will be two ten minute theaterical performances at the beginning of each hour. After each performance the audience will, with the guidance of Phyllis and Ashley, have the oppertunity to interact with the sensors and props , thus experiencing the Digital Realm for themselves.
