Performances
Elevenplay collaborated with Rhizomatiks to produce a piece called Shadow, which used three drones, a spotlight, and a dancer. Elevenplay worked with Rhizomatiks again to produce the show Pulse for the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Mexico. The piece made use of projection-mapping, both on the background and on the dancers.
They also collaborated individually with Rhizomatiks director Daito Manabe to create a technology-enhanced show called Drone-Augmented Amazingness, which used three drones and a projection-mapped backdrop. In the piece, the dancers direct the drones at first, but by the end, the drones replace the dancers.
