ACT reACT Rhythm and Sound.

Today we moved away from reACTing to visual prompts and worked with our bodies and percussion to inspire each other through sound and movement.

At times the room was loud and energetic with african vibes, at other times it was still and full of anticipation whilst a single person took control and instructed everyone when to perform.

We also explored drawing "scores". Using thick black pen on white paper, our lines and shapes were then transformed into music, using both instruments and voices.

Here are some pictures from the sessions.

ACT reACT - Layers of projection

This was the final ACT reACT session in which we used projection as our focus. We walked into an environment of netting and paper, hanging in layers throughout the room. The projector shone from the far end of the room and we soon discovered that as we moved the layers the room filled with light and colour.

Paper was ripped and sculpted, nets were hung and pinned to the side and the digital drawing expanded, resulting in an exciting new space to relax in.

Here are some photos from our sessions, we hope you enjoy.

ACT reACT 27 February 2015

Today we entered a dark space, lit only by a torch light and went on a journey through movement and sound as more colour and light filled the space. 

Using multiple projectors and digital drawing, the room was transformed every time a new artist sat down at the iPad. 

White paper caught the colours from the projection whilst vibrant fabrics distorted and changed the light.

We hope you enjoy looking at the pictures as much as we enjoyed being part of such a magical session.

ACT reACT 

This week we were in a wonderful world of white.

White hoops hanging all around and materials waiting to be used to create a new environment.
