Tom Dale - 'Duality' and 'I Infinite' (2004-2005)

These projects started with a concept of duality - of two contrasting performance spaces created with the use of projection as a light source, one space red and the other white.
In the first Duality project, performed in July 2004, we researched the use of animation as a light source in a red space. Listen to a sample from this piece here.

This was followed in October/November of 2004 with performances of I Infinite. This piece is performed in a bleached-out white space with back-projected animation. Tom has performed it many times since, and was recently invited to perform it as part of the White Christmas season at The Place (December 2005). Listen to an excerpt here.

In the spring of 2005 we were funded by the Arts Council to create a revised and extended version of the Duality projected, combining both the red and white spaces, performed by four dancers. This has been shown several times including at venues in Chelmsford and at The Place. Tom was later interviewed on Resonance FM about his work and ideas, where they played the 'trio' section (see pt8 below).
