We are already aware and inspired by a Cabaret group called '1927' which we will post about at a later date (they deserve their own post) but other than this touring group we don't know many more, so we decided to see if we could find some more.
We've spent a few hours scouring the Internet for Projection based performances. We haven't come up with much; firstly its difficult to know what search terms to use other than a mash up of the words 'projector' 'Animation' 'Theatre' and 'Performance'. We've come across countless examples of 'VJ' style projections and 3D video installation but nothing much along the lines of our project - which is both a good and bad thing. It's exciting that we haven't found anything like what we are working on as it means we are working on something quite original. However we have no one to place ourselves against and work off their mistakes (and triumphs..)
Although.. We did find this...
Projector Cape: Experiment #2 from REGULARMOTION on Vimeo.
But prehaps a little too much person/projector interaction..
