On Friday June 17 2005 Peter Greenaway on invitation by NoTV performed his first VJ act.
On music by DJ Serge Dodwell (aka Radar), 'VJ' Greenaway used for his set a specially developed VJ system consisting of a large plasma screen with touchscreen. Utilizing this system, Greenaway projected the 92 Tulse Luper stories on the 12 screens of Club 11 in a multi-screen way and mixed the images 'live'.
The result was amazing: Greenaway rocked the crowd in Amsterdam's VJ temple "11", blending his avantgarde cinematographic imagery (taken from the Tulse Luper Suitcases movie) with the heavy movie score remix by DJ Radar. Mastering the giant touch screen the newborn 'realtime image conductor' Greenaway provided a totally new experience to the audience: Live Cinema at its best.
The magnificent VJ debut of Peter Greenaway did not go unnoticed. As "real time image conductor" he finally freed himself from classic cinematographic linearity. With his outstanding cinematographic eye and energetic approach Greenaway won the respect of fellow VJs worldwide and hereby set the pace in the toplevel international VJ scene.
Greenaway's ground breaking original VJ Performance proved immensely
succesful. After a challenging and exciting start in 2005 the tour
travelled in 4 years to 14 countries: Australia, Belgium, Brasil,
France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia,
Spain, Switzerland and the UK. Film, video, music and crossover
festivals hosted the 33 performances in classic and modern theatres,
open squares, industrial halls, amphitheatres, concert-halls,
opera-houses and musea.
And now: the story continues !
