Host: Inarra Saarinen, Director and Ballet Pixelle
POSTPONED to 11 APRIL. Ballet Pixelle will present the original ballet “Degas Dances” following a brief discussion of representing art and dance in virtual worlds. Ballet Pixelle’s goal is to explore physical and virtual dance and movement and blended realities. “Degas Dances” uses physical and virtual dance and art, to explore art history and dance and technology in a new, innovative, engaging way.
Ballet Pixelle™ is a professional company, founded in 2006, that performs in virtual and global reality. The dancers do not use any synchroinizing devices and truly dance with each other and the music. “Degas Dances” was inspired by the art of Edward Degas who painted the life behind the scenes of the Paris Opera Ballet. Here, we use mixed media and original animations to make the paintings come to life and dance! Original music by Grammy-award winning Kurt Bestor.
