Lumiere Digiitale Auditions

Not too long ago Lumiere Digitale had the pleasure of holding auditions for interdisciplinary physical performers for it's new show at the old crown courts in Bristol, UK.

An exciting production combining digital arts with live performance in an unusual building.

We were absolutely innundated with applications for potential collaborators for this project with over 100 applications from talented circus artists and dancers from accross the UK and Europe.

I was faced with the difficult task of whittling these applications down to a select 25, to be invited to attend the audition day with us, at The Island Dancespace.

We then had to half this group again at lunchtime to continue working with around 14 performers into the afternoon. we still haven't finalised casting for this production but we have managed to shortlist to a final 12, with approximately 8 slots available in the production for extreemly talented dancer/ circus artists.

We had a simply fabulous day with everyone and were literally blown away by the talent. It has and is a very difficult process for us to select the final company for our 2013 production but we are very excited about it.

Lumiere Digitale at Pervaisive Media studios

Lumiere Digitale are delighted to have been awarded an artists residency at the Pervaisive Media Studio at the watershed, Bristol, where we will be based for the next few months.

We are being supported by the studio to develop some new technology for our debut show, which will take place in a secret Bristol location this autumn. We are also excited about the potential of collaborating with some of the other residents in the creation of the event, which will include a digital art gallery, visual art displays, and live theatre, circus, and dance performance.

‘The PM Studio is an initiative to bring together creative practice and technological innovation to produce the content, applications and experiences of the future.’

We are a Bristol based company, which deals specifically with the use of digital and visual art forms within contemporary circus, dance and physical theatre.

We are a collaboration inspired event; we aim to draw together artists of different disciplines into the creation of a visually inspired theatre. The emphasis is on working together to challenge the boundaries of form, pushing the arts to advance through exploring interdisciplinary performance, by creating immersive environments and events.

The work aims to under-go an in-depth exploration of the integration of video arts, projection mapping and tracking with electronic sound-scapes, visuals and live performance art.

Lumiere Digitale was created as a response to the ongoing developments that digital art forms have made in the last twenty years. Live visual/digital art is a booming industry being invested into and developed far quicker than other entertainment forms.  For performing arts to be current and relevant they need to harness these digital trends.
