Abstract

Within this paper a new conceptual framework for considering space within choreography with real-time video projection is considered. Choreotopology encompasses the identification of four specific spaces and the relationship of these spaces. By drawing on the practice of choreography with real-time video and examining the transformation of movement across physical space, camera space, projection space and compositional space a complex, a topological space for movement occurs. Choreotopology is further defined by exploring frames for movement, interrelated and connected space, time in the form of continuity and spatio-temporal aspects, and finally the transformations that occur within choreography and visuals. This framework is applied to a discussion of the author's own choreographic practice with real-time video projection.
