A kinetic stage dance performance
Adam Krebs
Description
A concept for a dance performance stage in 3 parts – miniature, digital, and full-sized. The Honeycomb is a stage made up of 37 individual hexagons on risers, laid out in a spiral pattern similar to a beehive. The set is capable breaking up an image in large form using individual riser platforms and then creating finer-grained details in the projection mapping. For example, we could have an ocean of waves, a throne for a king, an Escherian staircase, or a craggy mountain. The mocapped dancers complete the piece, telling a story of hierarchy and time set in a backdrop of ecology and movement.
I also physicalized the stage in miniature to showcase the projection mapping, and enlisted the help of Ben Moll to build a full sized hexagon platform.
