EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1969, we witness the convergence of art and technology as Royal Ballet Company dancers Lesley Collier and Marilyn Thompson practice their printed out dance routine. Choreographed on a computer by the innovative Mr. John Lansdown, this groundbreaking collaboration showcases the harmonious blend of creativity and computation. Organized by the Computer Arts Society, Event One is set to take place at the prestigious Royal College of Art. This pioneering event aims to demonstrate how computer programs can be utilized across various artistic disciplines. The use of computer programs in dance choreography exemplifies one such application. Lesley Collier, aged 22 from Orpington, and Marilyn Thompson, aged 21 from San Francisco, gracefully embody both elegance and technical precision as they bring Mr. Lansdown's digital creation to life. Their synchronized movements reflect a seamless fusion between traditional ballet techniques and cutting-edge electronic advancements. This remarkable image captures not only a moment in time but also represents an era where machinery meets artistry. It symbolizes the endless possibilities that arise when science and culture intertwine. As we gaze upon these talented young women immersed in their craft, it serves as a reminder that innovation knows no boundaries – even within the realm of classical dance. Julian Brown's photograph immortalizes this significant milestone in history when computers were first harnessed for artistic expression; it stands as a testament to human ingenuity pushing beyond conventional limits while preserving the beauty inherent in our shared cultural heritage.
