Tonal

Tonal is a development of Linebach’s previous work utilizing wearable technology in contemporary dance. The basis of the creative research investigates the use of wearable technology in exploring the intersection of movement and sound. Rather than individual sounds and accenting as seen in his previous piece, Kinetic Echoes, Tonal explores the dancer’s movement as a multi-dimensional instrument, combining whimsical movement with complex musical composition. Fundamentally, this work investigates the relationship between movement and sound, allowing us to continue exploring the question of "What does (or could) dance sound like?"
