Summary German students with 3 pix

Here it is the  summary of ideas by the German students:

-   sabine schneider + denise: association to Schlemmer's Pole dance with LED lightpoles/fluorescents

 -   Sabine Möbius, Sindy Pantak: CIRCLE  animations (pre-produced) +  projected (SEE PDF)
Inspired from Bauhaus dances we want to combine + animate circular elements.
They could be pre-animated in  abstract minimal motion to music in After Effects.
Best to use reduction to Black-White or just 1 color.
The animations will be projected onto( circular?) shapes held + moved by actors. circle samples see 2 pictures)

 -   martin + thomas  inside/out: trampoline
 visualize connection between inside + outside as important architectural element of modernist architecture. Schlemmer used the stage with architectural elements using a play with colors and proportions. Man was but a prototype and tool. The relation between man and space was Schlemmer's main 'Leitmotiv'.
Performance: Outside the auditorium a person jumps on a trampoline and is videotaped. The video is simultaneously projected onto the stage. the outside person cannot see the stage initially. By gradually adjusting jumping height + projection surface though inside + outside will (partially ) connect. the audience inside sees both: stage + jumper through the window.

-    Benjamin Sporer:  /Primary shapes+colors  - WHITE 3D SPACE  (SEE PDF)
1 Animation: blue circle, yellow triangle, red square start overlapping and build new shape + space (add music). possibly combined with performance + actor
2 Sculpture: use bought + found objects (wood, carton, balls, white cloth, wood scraps, all white or spray-painted white. with flourescents, see sketch + photo

 -   felix develops a tracking system with an interaktiven collage

 -   Robert Ibisch: Isolation in society - movement + objects+ sounds  on stage
Illustrate Schlemmer's 'Man in space' with examples of citizens oblivious of their surroundings: e.g. person with loud music from mp3 player, person rolling a suitcase on wheels that hinders others from passing, a person hiding behind a newspaper - short: people avoiding each other.
STAGE: each person has a sound/music allocated to their movements, accompanied by the sounds of their objects.

  1. I would like to explorer the idea of using minimal colors black and white. I will post sketches of my "light path" idea. The light path is the use of six white stage lights projecting down on the stage and objects (people, people hold objects)that accentuate the human body and its movements. Video cameras at various positions are used to record. We could then remix the resulting footage to create a short film.
