Using live video, electro acoustic software and a Theremin, dancers interact with media components developed by Bryan Leister. Dancers’ proximity to media antennas result in layered sound and projected real time video.

The media work has received an invitation to Foro Performatica` a festival conference at Universidad de las Americas at Puebla Mexico and will be performed there on April 3, with Jane teaching a festival workshop on April 1. __________________________
