Working on a late June show means that we can have a section of Somatophobia be represented during UWM Summerdances 2012. This was our second rehearsal in the theater and I'm excited to see what the space looks like with this piece. The section we are bringing to the stage is a former piece of mine called Bob's Palace. The piece was created in 2003 with a state of the art infrared optical motion capture system. For Summerdances 2012 we are only doing the dance... no technology. Dominic Amato is working at re-creating the animation for Somatophobia. More on this later.
Yesterday we were working with costumes during our second staging rehearsal... I'm not too interested in spending a lot of money or time on the costumes... during Somatophobia at KSE the video is the main element but the costumes should reflect some kind of community... some general tone of uniformity. From the uniform I can see where we would be able to see the specific... and that's the goal really. To see the specific details of the characters and not the costumes.

The sheet laying on the stage is pictured below... dancers like to be quiet as a whole but right now they are surprising themselves... the hardest part is the fear most of us have about singing which works very well with our theme.
