Many an experience I have had. But few compare to the first time I danced with light. I was at a regional Burn, when I came across The Electric Heliotrope Theater of Lorne Covington. Lorne, a geek to the enth degree — and an overall super-nice guy, had created a light/shadow computer program that interacts with body movements and then projects the images onto a screen. There at night, in the fields and camping area of a music festival, people were invited to come and dance with the light, compliments of Lorne’s technical ability, creative capacity and artistic desires.
It was muy fun, both to do and to watch. And, I did my best to share the opportunity, but I have to admit, I hovered around Lorne’s theme camp and popped before the screen to dance, dance, dance whenever the space opened up to do so.
