Last February, we provided the live interactive/visual effects for Ballet Philippines' A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM.
A ballet in the neo-classical style choreographed by Hong Kong based Carlo Pacis. Noted for its outstanding artistry, structure and invention, Pacis’ work is known here and abroad.
Digibox Creative Team designed the visual effects projected on the stage of CCP's Main Theater (projections on cyclo, white scrim, black scrim, and on the stage set and floor) using Isadora Interactive Software.
