Brooke Broussard is a native of Lafayette, Louisiana where she began to grow in modern dance. In 2000, she graduated with BFA in Dance from the University of Southern Mississippi. In 1999 and 2000, she was awarded scholarships to attend the American Dance Festival, where she met Shen Wei. Brooke became a founding company member of Shen Wei Dance Arts in 2000, where she toured globally and danced for 9 years. Brooke has created and performed her own choreography in New York at CBGBs, PS 122, Pianos, Brooklyn Art Project, Triskelion Collaborations Festival, for The New Orleans Fringe Festival, Natural History Museum, and Diapason Gallery, Reverb Festival 2010, SUNY Purchase and Alvin Ailey CitiGroup Theater, the Louisiana Dance Festival, in San Francisco at NOHspace, ODC Pilot 52, LEVYDance Salon, and for West Wave Festival in 2008. Brooke has also worked with David Michalek for "Slow Dancing", Jon Pratt, and Benton-C Bainbridge. Brooke has performed for the Shanghai Expo through NYU, Aly Rose and the Shanghai Theater Academy. She was also a recent recipient of the Dancers in Transition Business Entrepreneurial Grant. Her work incorporates neuroscience, emotional states and inventive, improvisational movement; culminating in groundbreaking multi-media performance art. Brooke strives to be an individual choreographer in the arts; focusing on the dance community while also collaborating with musicians, visual artists, and advancing technologies. Her visions venture away from the typical dance performance into a new generation of tech savvy performance art. Currently, Brooke and her work, Infinite Light, are being presented through the support of the Shaanxi Province Government, Gush Multimedia Technology in collaboration with Artistic Director Huang Hui, and Benton-C Bainbridge to create a dance-based multimedia show for the Xi'an Horticultural Expo 2011. In June, Infinite Light's video art work was presented in New York City as part of the Big Screen Project.

Benton-C Bainbridge is an artist based in The Bronx and Nashville working with video as a painterly and performable medium. Benton-C’s media art is made with custom systems of his own design. Bainbridge has presented video in immersive environments, screenings, installations and live performances across 5 continents, collaborating with scores of artists around the world.
Career highlights include the best-attended ever Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris performance with live media ensemble The Poool, video design for 2 Beastie Boys world tours and numerous special appearances and analog video synth FX for TV On The Radio. Bainbridge has shown and performed video on five continents in venues including the Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris, Museum of Modern Art, Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden, American Museum of the Moving Image, The Kitchen (NYC), EMPAC (Troy, NY), the American Museum of Natural History, SFMoMA (San Francisco), Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington, D.C.), Dallas Video Festival, Boston Cyberarts Festival, Mercat des les Flors (Barcelona), LUX2006 (Sevilla), Auditorium Parco della Musica (Roma), Sonic Light (Amsterdam), Wien Moderne (Vienna), Inventionen (Berlin), Teatro Colón CETC (Buenos Aires), CELCIT (Managua), Korean Festival (Seoul), Good Vibrations (Australia), MTV Networks and Hotwired (global).
Currently, Benton-C Bainbridge and choreographer/dancer Brooke Broussard are exploring visuals made by bodies and extended with technology in the "Infinite Light" project. In Xi'an, Infinite Light shows giant water projections at the International Horticultural Expo 2011 through October 22, 2011. Glowing Pictures (Benton-C Bainbridge and V Owen Bush) will soon launch the fifth season of One Step Beyond at American Museum of Natural History, at which they are the resident visual designers and visualists.

Benjamin Bromley (b. 1979) is a producer, performer, sound designer and composer. His work is influenced by biological forms, emergence and non-zero sum game theory. He is the co-founder of NewVillager, a multimedia collaborative that uses drawing, immersive sculpture, video, pop songs and field recordings to explore a mythology about the process of transformation. In June 2011, they built a ten room physical representation of this mythology called TemporaryCulture at Human Resources gallery in Los Angeles that culminated in an integrative event -- a series of games blurring the line between audience and performer. In recent years, Ben has collaborated and toured internationally with several music and performance groups including Fischerspooner and Santigold. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY where he is scoring a feature film and collaborating with Brooke Broussard and Benton C Bainbridge on the dance video art piece, Infinite Light.
