Week 2 Update
I have 6 confirmed performers including myself.  I am still looking for one more to fill the final chakra performance.  Over the past week I have been working on creating yoga sequences pertaining to each chakra.  I've been thinking about the performance as a whole and the way the video composition will work out in relation to each performance and sound.  I'm thinking I want to have two video cameras.  One to take the overhead shot of the paintings as they occur, and another to video the entire production.  I would love for the seven performers to play off one another, kind of like dominoes.  When one finishes the next begins and as they finish they freeze in the same curled up position of child pose.  Each performer will begin the same way as well, going through a sun salutation first and then entering into their specific postures.  Here's what I have so far for the chakras:

EYECON

I've been researching this technology to determine if a response to light would add to the performance video or if it would take away from the power of the more primitive art.  The two themes are so contrasted I'm not sure if it would be better to wait and use Eyecon for something else.
