Arizona State University’s Department of Dance and Information Technology
Instructional Support are offering a two-week intensive workshop in new
performance technology with a focus on creativity and choreography that
will take place in the interactive performance space and technology classrooms
at ASU. The workshop will be led by internationally recognized artists
and researchers Scott deLahunta, Zachary Lieberman, John D. Mitchell and
Yacov Sharir. Three morning seminars, described below, will run concurrently
with a series of afternoon workshops where participants will have the
opportunity to put seminar content into practice through a collaborative
creation process.
In this workshop, participants will explore questions related to emergent
electronic technologies and how they may influence the artistic processes
and experiences of the work we create. New technologies offer means to
extend, manipulate and color work in different ways, many of which are
not possible in a technologically-unmediated realm. In exploring these
technologies, we look at how physical performance can be enhanced and
perceived in other ways. These different perceptions may derive from the
experiential effects of the technologies, as well as journeys through
computer simulations of choreographic works and the responses these elicit.
Mornings will be divided into three seminars running the length of the workshop.
