Created by ivanai (See other events)
BADco. is inviting you to the international four-day event Algorithmic Reflections of Choreography: From Choreography to Software and Back presenting cutting-edge approaches to using software tools in choreographic work. The symposium, workshops and installations will bring together artists, technologists, educators and scholars to present and reflect on how such technological tools can help in developing, documenting, teaching choreography and what are the effects of their use on creative work. The event will include contributions by developers and artists working on tools developed by and for The Forsythe Company, Emio Greco | PC, Deborah Hay Company, BADco., Ventura Dance Company and other international dance companies.

The symposium marks the release of BADco.’s choreographic software suite Whatever Dance Toolbox, created in collaboration with the German developer Daniel Turing.

    BADco. will hold a workshop in Frankfurt, Germany 26.-28. April, also working with Whatever Dance Toolbox. As we are coming out with a practical manual and the LiveCD distribution of the software this week, I am sure more workshops will be planned for the autumn.
