Michael, chapeau!!!
I'm amazed the quantity and quality of work you can produce: vimeo +
your site + blog + coding + playing + screencasting + bobbing your head
at 2AM... i'm really impressed. If I had more confidence I'd dare say
"Please introduce me to your pusher, it looks like he's providing very
good stuff!!" ;-) (bear with me)
my name is Andrea, I live and work in Bergamo (Northern Italy) for a
company focused on mobile sw. solutions for banks. Pretty boring eh?
Right, that's why I steer a group of Contact Improvisation (lemolecole)
which brings some fun in my life. Yes, we are talking contemporary
dance, and although I'm in my 40s, i'll keep dancing till my legs keep
me up.
a few links to grasp the concept
www.lemolecole.it (About to be refactored)
lemolecole.blogspot.com (In italian sorry)
http://vimeo.com/videos/search:le%20molecole (i'm the leftmost one in red)

got it?
Ok, having a compute science degree, I think it's high time I start
combining work (e.g. bits) & fun (e.g. dance music and code art), this
is why i'm starting to explore processing, vvvv, animata and friends.
I'd really love to see all this stuff applied to contact improvisation,
create and tour performances which relate/translate body movement & body
expression to digital expression. Pretty fuzzy eh? I know, I told you
i'm exploring. By now I managed to have a (human) dancer friend
playing live with a (digital) light blob in processing interacting with
it on the scene. Surely I'll need some arduino like thing to make it better.
Then why this post? well, just to congratulate with you and to spread
the word: is anyone aware of digital art related to contemporary dance
and especially performances? Is anyone interested? Get in touch and
share ideas!
best
andrea

I've ported Animata's rendering engine over to Java so that Animata
scenes can be combined with other stuff in Processing.
Screencast here: http://vimeo.com/2839938
If you want to try it, go to
http://processing.grimaceworks.com/animata where the library is
available to download.
