I have been able to borrow the house my county shows cinema, shows and concerts in for an evening. It got a stage and dark curtains in the back. The stage is also black.
I want to try to shoot a dance friend and freeze motion, i also might want to experiment with dragging the shutter. We where also allowed to try and bring in a little smoke (will se if that goes well).
I am thinking about somthing like this:

I am only used to shooting people in still life in studio, so i am wondering if the stage is dark, will it be possible to freeze the dancer in a jump with studio strobes like elinchrom brx 500 watt http://www.elinchrom.com/compacts/brx.html
I guess they only sync up to 1/250 in shutter speed? Would that be enought to freeze motion inside? I could also borrow some http://www.elinchrom.com/compacts/one.html d lite rx one 400watt strobes. And I have two Nikon Sb900 speedlites that supports high speed sync.
So I would loved some advice about what gear i should try, and maybe where to place the lights? If smoke i now I have to backlight it.
I could just go and try offcorse but if sombody have done it before and have some advice it would be nice.
Should i use softboxes? Umberella or just shoot them with no diffusion?
Hope somebody have some tips to share.
