FLASHDANCE

FLASHDANCE from PUISSANT on Vimeo.

FLASHDANCE is a tap-dance shoe prototype realized during a one-week workshop supervised by Roel Wouters from Studio Moniker.

The statement that led to it was on one hand the willing to explore new ways of filming, and on the other of merging and synchronise as much as possible a main performance object and what surrounds a performance itself.

We so interested ourselves in tap-dancing and all the moves involved, since sound is perfectly synced with dance - and what we could do about it. What came out is that if we could put cameras under the shoes, live-filming patterns while performing, we could get a visual output as synced as possible with the global performance.
