I will explore a new style of composing for an interactive music/dance composition. This project uses new interactive techniques where the composition reacts directly to the dancers' movement in real time. The outcome will be evaluated by how successfully I use these new techniques to effectively communicate the emotions of the story. 2: Live interaction between composer, choreographer and performers in the creative process will add a heightened level of engagement with the audience. Since we are exploring new collaborative territory, audience feedback will be especially critical to this project. In order to gage are successes and to identify areas that need improvement, we will invite audience Q and A after each performance.
