Dance performance interconnects the notion of space and movement, providing therefore the ideal framework to design and research immersive relations between the virtual and physical world: mixed reality performance. We start by discussing conceptual approaches to immersive and mixed reality environments, and reporting some of the current state of the art solutions.We developed two proof-of-concept systems and frameworks to implement the use of spatial augmented reality applied to dance performance. Our systems establish a real time dialogue and interaction between 3D geometry and perspective grids calculations with body movement. We also present our framework design and implementation of our system, outlining relevant problems and solutions we find in the process.Finally, the frameworks and design processes were validated through a field experiment -the performance -after which we gathered and analyzed the feedback from the performers, the audience and the choreographer.
