Spinners Game is an interdisciplinary performance for three dancers, sound creation and IMSS (Interaction Motion Sound System). Through the movements of the dancers and the triggers of the sound device, Spinners Game explores and presents various fragments of memory.
An omnipresent musical narrator, the composer creates maps of invisible spaces using video software (IMSS by LiSiLoG), detectable only by touch. As in a game, traps, subterfuges and bonuses are inserted to reveal hidden musicalities.
The IMSS software is designed to address "instrumental scenography", by allowing capture information to be mapped. In this performance, two cameras are used (a webcam and a fisheye camera), one above the stage and the other facing the stage.
Educational session for the public
This session introduces the public to a system of sound and body interaction, enabling spectators to discover how new technologies can enrich artistic creation. Through this interaction, participants explore the links between acoustics, motion capture and computer vision, stimulating interdisciplinary thinking. In this system, they become not only spectators but also "creators": their movements influence sound effects in real time, opening up a space for exploration and creativity.

Qingqing Teng
composer
Born in China in 1990, Qingqing Teng works in various fields of sound creation: acousmatic music, mixed music, improvised vocal performance, music for film and dance. She is interested in musical theater, and attempts to combine electroacoustic music and theater in her multimedia works and performances. She breaks away from traditional musical means of expression and chooses the means of sound expression best suited to the needs of dramaturgical development. Her compositional work is often carried out in collaboration with other artists. She has received commissions from the French government, the Proxima Centauri and Alcôme ensembles, the Conservatoire & Orchestre de Caen, the Beijing Cultural Center Museum and the PAS International Percussion Festival (China). She studied composition at the CNSMD in Lyon. 2021-2022, she will follow the Ircam curriculum. She is currently an assistant in the Artiste Diplôma program at the CNSMD de Lyon.
Emma Terno
choreographer
Born in Monaco in 1988, Emma Terno explores everyday rituals, their ceremonials and their modulations through virtual expansion. Inspired by new technologies, she forms new questions about our bodily heritage, and the fabulous mechanism of bodily movement is what drives her research. As a choreographer, dancer and visual artist, she submits these choreographic rites to acoustic and virtual techniques to confront us with our habits and sensations. The body as a laboratory for experimentation, work and encounters with people from other disciplines and horizons.
With a Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts (ECAL, Lausanne) and a Master's degree in Scenic Art Practice (HKB, Berne), it was while working with various companies that she decided to create Wonderbox, her first work for the Chroniques Biennial. She is currently working on movement with female actors in Pantin (Cie Louma Stark) and with Natacha Paquignon (Cie Corps au Bord, Lyon). She has also been working as a dancer in several opera houses since 2019 (Opéra de Monte Carlo, Grand Théâtre de Genève, Opéra de Marseille and Opéra de Lyon).
