Outer Body Experience
Music To The Dance

In a specially equipped room or hall, a multitude of motion and laser sensors are monitoring the ballerina's every move.

Then, as she starts to dance, the sweet sounds of music pour from the walls themselves, controlled completely by her body movements -- she both conducts and performs the music.

       It should be fairly obvious when she stuffs it up, I guess.

       I had some lovely romantic notions of an exquisite performance.
Until I read [UB]'s anno.

       I'd pay good money to see [tc] attempt a performance of 'Flight of the Bumblebee.'

       Oh, I voted "for", but to "stuff something up" is Oz slang for making a mistake... usually a big one. I assumed it to be popular elsewhere.

       [RayfordSteele] though my mom was a dance teacher and dragged me to all the classes, heaven forbid :)

       [UB], I realise that and also appreciate the language (having the same phrase over here!). It just , kinda, killed my illusions somewhat. You know what I mean!.

       Nothing like a good interlude to reign in the merry pace!

       She's dancing in front of a theremin?

       Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a musician!

       "So, you're telling me that's a thermometer, not a flute? Play us a few notes while you're there, on all fours."

UnaBubba, Mar 28 2004
  

       There was a variation of the theremin, I forget its name now, that was played by moving the entire body over a platform. But it was basically altitude-based--the notes depended on the height of the the mass above it, meaning your "dance" would be primarily vertical.
