Dance with light by Nobuyuki Hanabusa; enra "pleiades"

Apparently according to Hanabusa, he does it by projection onto a screen, perfecting alignment with the dancers through repeated practice. The dancers come from different backgrounds. For example, Maki Yokoyama is trained as a rhythmic gymnast as well as in various forms of dance. This may help her achieve precision movement. The other performer, Saya Watatani, is a ballerina who has also studied theatre.

curious what you know about the creation of this piece...how was the lighting designed? Is it using infrared cameras that it matches the dancers so well?
