Best Interactive Dance Performance Falling to Earth
Ellen Bromberg STAFFPICK:Ellen Bromberg, an independent Tucson
choreographer, staged a groundbreaking dance/video work, Falling
to Earth, in May. With the help of an interactive computer
technology called the "Intelligent Stage," the piece
changed in each performance, with video and sound triggered by
the disparate movements of the four dancers. For all its technological
innovations, it was a dance about the visceral, about death and
the body and identity. Falling to Earth was a profound
work that moved more than one audience member to tears.
