The work of kondition pluriel is based on research and development processes, where the principal subject of experimentation is the interactive manipulation of a media-based environment through dance / performance. This experimental practice is centered on the construction and simulation of spaces, which re-actualize the presence of the performer as the one of the viewer.

Working with bodies and movement and working with technology and new media require quite different approaches. Combining both of these disciplines and remaining process-oriented as an artistic group is quite challenging. kondition pluriel seeks to fuse rather than juxtapose these disciplines. In an open process, informed by a reciprocal dynamic, strategies of movement are developed according to digital processes and digital processes are developed according to the functioning of the body.

The combination of electronic media and performance offers unlimited possibilities. To explore and investigate the integration of choreography and interactive technology, we have had to reduce our concepts in both respective disciplines and aesthetic fields of creation. We have created a physical platform for experimental research, that is to say a laboratory type situation, for the interaction of technological and physical components.

In terms of body language and gesture, we stage different bodily states and raw action, suggesting a multiplicity of attempts at the body’s reorganization, metamorphosis and adaptation to situations of constraint. The way the body is put into perspective and its relationship to virtual architecture are key factors in defining the character and spatiality of our work.
