How Photochoreography Works
As your musicians perform, we precisely cue elegant visual transitions that
fill an immense 440-square-foot, three-panel, panoramic screen with single, double and triple image combinations that often form stunning panoramas.
The performance fee normally includes all digital projection equipment and screens as well
as Westwater Arts supervision of the setup and takedown. Symphonic photochoreography
is performed in all kinds of venues including concert halls, auditoriums and outdoors.
