Forward Motion Theater is a New York City-based dance-theater-media
company founded in 1995 by choreographer Eric Dunlap and media
artist Holly Daggers. The mission of FMT is to explore the combination
of movement and technology through both live performance and digital
media. Works with themes ranging from science fiction, spirituality,
and the mutability of the human form are realized through innovative
stage and lighting effects and formalized composition.
Far from "experimental", FMT continues in the Nikolais
Dance Theater tradition of staging choreoworks in a highly visual
and media enhanced style but also deconstructs movement with a
scientific eye, examining the elemental properties of movement
in Space, Shape, Time, and Motion. Dunlap and Daggers have created
live shows incorporating lasers, digital projections, and interactive
music elements that are firmly rooted in formal composition and
a rich history of live performance and profesional training. An
important aspect of the company1s mission is to reach new audiences
with its "stunningly inventive" use of choreography
and technology. Towards that end, their current projects include
developing not only works for live theater, but also creating
new performance venues through video and the web.
