Tyche
Tyche is a multimedia work that weaves together projection, music and dance. Delving into chance, this piece creates different perspectives depending on how the varied elements align.
This work is designed to be performed in an intimate setting, where the projections and the live performer meld as one complete image. Tyche is divided into six sections over twenty five minutes, each exploring the connection between original music compositions and striking visual effects, driven by the intangible relationship that exists between the dancer and the multimedia program, Isadora. The piece was inspired by ‘Tyche’, (the Greek word for chance or fortune), as when creating with Isadora, it is more often than not that the most fascinating projected imagery is discovered by chance.
Tyche is also the name of the goddess of fortune, who was believed to have had a hand in determining the outcome of peoples’ lives. This work delves into varied facets of life such as sacred ritual, obsession with image and the inner creative through the alternating combinations of projection, dance and music. The merging of a repeated composition with a different visual idea and visa versa, challenges the audience to constantly look at the work through a new perspective, alluding to the concept that there are many ways that the die of life may be cast.
During 2009 my multimedia work was embraced by Eramboo Arts Centre. Needing the darkness of night to create with the Isadora projections, it was rare that the rest of the artistic community could share in my discoveries and as Tyche evolved, I was encouraged to devise a public performance. On the 6th of December last year I presented Tyche at Eramboo as part of a double bill featuring dance films by artist Tamara Gulic.
