With the sound feedback reactions, the performance reaches another degree of perception for the audience as well as for the perfomer. the performer wears sensors (bi-directionnal accelerometers) and the programming was done on puredata. the composition of dance and music were simultaneous on a prepared space (horizontal- half tone every 30cm & vertical an octave every 40cm) premiered in June 12, 2010 at Bains Numériques Festival #5, Enghien-les-Bains, France excerpts from a 20 min lenght solo
