| Reine Rien (2001 - 15 minutes) Created by: Mark Coniglio and Dawn Stoppiello Premiered at: WAX, Brooklyn, NY - Sep 2001. Performed By: Lisa Herlinger-Thompson, Danielle Goldman, Michou Szabo, Sandra Tillett.
Reine Rien, with choreography by Dawn Stoppiello and music/media by Mark Coniglio, is a meditative exploration of expansive spaces and distant horizons. The name comes from the juxtaposition of two French words, literally translated Queen Nothing. The four dancers each wear a MidiDancer sesnory system, which allows the computer to wirelessly monitor their movements. That information is used to allow their movement to interactively generate music and manipulate video imagery as they perform. "The movement of the dancers, who are wired to a computer, releases both music (insect swarms, quasi- Gregorian chants, a splatter of rain) and a beautiful ideathat whole cities of sound are immanent in the air, and human motion makes them visible" Apollinaire Scherr, The Village Voice Surfacing | Future of Memory | Reine Rien | Chemical Wedding | In Plane | Other Works |
