Music and dance come from the same impulse and it is one that is shared by every human being. The MotionComposer is based on this principle. It is an easy-to-use interactive device that turns movement — any movement — into music. It is engaging for small children, senior citizens and everyone in between. Professional artists use it, but also persons of other abilities — including those with cerebral palsy, aphasia, autism, quadriplegia, blindness, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. The blink of an eye is enough to play a note! The MotionComposer is being developed by dancers, composers, engineers, therapists; persons with and without disabilities. There are working models available, and the finished product is planned by the end of 2018. Essential to our process is that we try things out. We have held workshops in Canada, Spain, Germany, Austria, Norway, Italy, France, Switzerland, Turkey, Czech Republic and the U.S. It is not just a tool, but a community.
