Younger Audiences
"CHARADE" will premiere tomorrow, and all is assembling as it should. The piece was curated into the "Family Matters" series at DTW, which is geared towards younger audiences, and I think that many of the computer graphics I work with are compatible for this kind of setting. Above is a photograph of a lecture-performance in Bangkok, Thailand - last year I was invited to teach dance and technology workshops to young students in Bangkok, and they took to the material with incredible dexterity.
