Ballet Mori: a ballet conducted by the earth
SF Opera House, 4 April 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To commemorate the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, Ken Goldberg conceived Ballet Mori to engage the Earth as a living medium and a conductor for dance. For the first time, network technology was combined with ballet to directly link the natural world to classical performance.
In this improvisational performance, SF Ballet Principal Dancer Muriel Maffre responded to a musical composition modulated live by the unpredictable fluctuations of the Earth's movement as measured in real time by a UC Berkeley seismometer at the Hayward Fault.
Video Clip of Performance (3:00 mins):

It was weird because today was the anniversary and the bus was free and people were all celebrating and everyone seemed happy. I think this was because today was the first sunny warm day of spring here and the rain won't be back at least for another 3 days. I forgot what my skin looks like in daytime and for some reason I am really itchy today.
