Robots and raving have become synonymous over the last year, vith the faceless space-age beings becoming characters in their own right. One of the best known must be Bill the Robot alias Cyberpunk on Techno stilts. He was the metallic monster on the Altern 8 video, did the splits on stilts on stage at Reincarnation, and was the enormous 14′ high robot at Raindance. You may have also seen him at Elevation, Telepathy and numerous other events up and down the country. Bill is a raving robot and has been for the last three years. He was working in a non-animal circus until he met a made lazer man and together they developed a lazer robot for Glastonbury.
As techno music has a year 2000 futuristic aspect, so robots and raving are ideal partners. Lots of ravers can dance robotically, but the Cyberpunk has made an art out of raving, roller skating and dancing on stilts. He takes a lot of care over his costumes and much thought has to go into the design and weight is a major consideration. It becomes even more complicated when mirrors are incorporated to deflect the lazer beams. Such shows have to be carefully choreographed with the lazer operator, and the overall effect can be stunning. Look out for him at major events over the summer, but give him plenty of space to get the full effect.
