William Forsythe recently showed at the Wexner Center at OSU in Columbus. Forsythe is a dancer/choreographer who has been using electronic media to articulate the elements of movement embedded in his creative process both as a dancer and a choreographer. By manipulating the time element and the spacial element of dance, he transforms the audience's perception of weight, gravity, volume, dimension, and focal point by presenting the dance as a complex relationship of movements.

In his solo he presents his own unique fluidity.

At the Wexner the exhibition William Forsythe:Transfigurations showcases a full range of "choreographic objects and seeks to shed light on the connections that have evolved from Forsythe's work as a dance maker and performer, developing his concepts through working from the body, to projecting these ideas into new mediums and ways of presenting"

By electronically interpreting his work he relocates the dance, putting it in galleries, public squares, the internet, grabbing viewers of all ages and backgrounds.

"City of Abstracts" interfaces with the viewer at the entrance to the exhibit. The viewer witnesses digitally altered images of their bodies projected on a large video screen, inviting interaction, spontaneous movement, enjoyment.

I invited a performer and a veteran choreographer to go to the exhibition with me and we spent easily 30 minutes playing, moving together, watching our bodies transformed like gumby, spiralling, flowing, melting. It was very easy to spontaneously choreograph a dance, accessible, delightful.

In "Synchronous Objects for One Flat thing" he uses new media to make "visible an array of expressive animations, information graphics, and other visual cues the deep structures of choreography in order to enrich cross disciplinary invesigation and creativity"
Writing about his process

"One Flat thing..." video and interview

Formal qualities denote the beauty, flexibility, and grace of dance.
The electronic projections and interactive media connotations are that we all move, we all have capacity to take pleasure in our expressive flow, dance is not for the elite.
