The Power of the “Light”
Light is the new chrome” Powerful opening light show. performance with interactive lighting. (Kinjaz) Using the dancers as a axis to control the room we deliver maximum impact by combining laser interaction with pixel mapping the ‘light cage”
Layer by layer we build up to the peak of the show.Next is the gauze projection. Floating blades of light “box: in the performers. Heavy haze is cut with laser light reacting to the music. The light show builds to the peak. The vibrant color splits from center stage wiping to the perimeter with laser interaction.

***** Finale Show ****
360° Vibrant Power
The tonality is contemporary and abstract. We blend movement with tracer effects of the dance. Playing with the physical and transferring to the virtual our audience feels part of the vibrancy as we bring them into our world. This piece is all about attitude. Almost like a cat walk of attitude fused with contemporary dance styles with a interactive light show.
The Holo gauze stage is filled with smoke, slowly we fill light in from the sides creating “frame” of gradient light. High art direction characters emerge from the mist towards the holo gauze layer. They are dressed like the NBD direction. They are showcasing the new attitude of the brand. Young, Open, Determined. As they make their way across the stage they hit poses combined with choreography and the room reacts to these moments.
They create echo effects, tracers of themselves are spreading across the room. dancers interact with their shadows surrounded with vibrant color. Light is bouncing around the room. Refracted by prism effects on the gauze. We Play with light and shadow. This performance is all about setting the attitude of the NBD and finale for the the show. Key words emerge from the gauze and spread to the sides as we build up to the climax. The performers assemble in final positions to create the finale picture.
We end on the claim “vibrant power for all”
