FMT co-founder Holly Daggers will provide a demonstration of some of the 3D and interactive visual technology used in her collaboration with Decadancetheater for the 2011 New York International Fringe Festival.
The New York International Fringe Festival has been a staple in the multi-arts scene for fifteen years. At this event, join moderator Hy Bender and representatives from “Theater of the Arcade,” “When the Sky Breaks 3D,” “The Legend of Julie Taymor,” and “Technodoulia Dot Com” for a discussion about how they use Apple products and technology onstage and behind the scenes.
FMT’s Wetcircuit teams up with the all-female hip-hop crew Decadancetheatre at Joyce Soho, July 15–18 at 8pm. Choreographer Jennifer Weber and visual artist Holly Daggers create an evening featuring an international roster of b-girls and 3D visuals!

Tickets are available on the Joyce Soho website – $20, $15 for students and seniors. Thursday is a opening night reception and benefit with tickets at $50. A discussion follows the performance Friday evening.
Be the first to experience When The Sky Breaks, Deca’s world-premiere piece fusing old school hip-hop with cutting-edge, 3D technology. Put on your 3D glasses and watch what happens when dancers, a DJ and VJ all collaborate to push the boundaries of hip-hop in new dimensions.
“Her leading dancers bring the feminine mystique to hip-hop. They suspend the expected fierce staccato moves in a matrix of lush fluency and add a dimension of alluring mystery to the form’s conventional tough, streetwise attitude.” Tobi Tobias, The Village Voice.
After the show, stay to party with the dancers and enjoy a special dance performance by Future, the legendary House/Waving/Popping artist, music by Deca’s very own DJ Henry C.
An excerpt of When the Sky Breaks was previewed at RE:Vision June 30th, 2010.
