Vivid Sydney 2019 :: Lighting of the Sails. . . Huang’s Austral Flora Ballet is a hypnotic fusion of contemporary dance and motion-capture technology that brings our botanic wonders to life as never seen before. Together with choreographer Toogie Barcelo and the animation design team at Bemo in Los Angeles, Huang crafts a lush spectacle from such beloved floral gems as the New South Wales waratah, kangaroo paws and red beard orchids, all of which have enormous connection for First Nations peoples to their country, story and dance. Australia’s unique native plant species have inspired the animated shapes, colour palette and textures in this magnificent otherworldly opus. Huang and Barcelo worked with dancer Genna Moroni to generate fluid arabesques in direct response to the sensuous arcs and rhythms of the Sydney Opera House Sails. Produced by dancing on a motion capture stage in front of projected images of the building, Barcelo’s choreography physically embodies the world-recognised silhouette. The result is a ‘ballet’ of dazzling floral avatars that bloom with human movement across the Sails of Sydney Opera House. Huang’s new piece underscores the connection between the human body, architecture and the natural world through the lens of Australia’s botanical treasures. - vividsydney.com _ 9 June 2019 #ciVividSydney #ibyang #sydney #travel #australia #VividSydney2019 #lightsup #therocks #lightsandartshow #lights #sydneyoperahouse #iloveSydney #vividSydney #citysparkle #itsasony #lightingofthesails #sonyA7ii https://www.instagram.com/p/BykPuePHGyF/?igshid=4o4koherrklc
