Towards the end of the 20th century, choreographer established the use of new technologies into contemporary dance by tracking dance movements, gestures, or biodatas to control especially sound and light during the performances. On account of its computational controllability, light has become one of the most important actors in interactive dance performances, as a visual counterpart to the sound. Nowadays, light is not just an element that guarantees visibility or serves as an atmospheric component, it can also be directly interacted with the dancer. The body became the ability to function as an interface to control the lighting. This work examines how light as a medium can interact with the dancer’s body as an interface to create a deeper experience of dance, movement and light for dancer and spectator. The goal is to the answer the research question:  How does motion-controlled light affect the relationship between dancer, movement, and light during the performance? By answering the sub-questions: How does the dancer regulate the lighting situation with the motion control? And how does the motion-control light affect the dancer and their movementsAn approach is presented in which a force sensor is attached under the heel of the dancer's foot. Depending on the load on the heel of the foot, the light intensity increased, and the colour temperature declined. The setup is evaluated in cooperation with a dancer.The results demonstrate that the dancer's body perception as well as the movements and the relationship to the light change.  Furthermore, the dancer gains through the control of the light a possibility to express herself. At the same time, she can react actively to the light. The results indicate that the dancer uses the control in varies way to affect the lighting situation: Provoking load on the sensor or avoiding it, synchronising body movements with the light transition or use the sensor independent from any other movement or expanding her movement.
