Hello dance-techers, It’s been a while, and plenty to report. Get ready for an exciting ride!

First and foremost, I am going to be attending “Post Me_New ID” in Dresden (Germany) from 31st October to 2nd November 2008, where I will have the opportunity to present our network in the QuickFire sessions. http://www.postme-newid.net/ If you’re going, please get in touch with me, as I would love to meet as many of you as possible. Dance Tech: The Series

The “Dance Tech” series will be premiering next week on TenduTV . The first episode presents highlights and excerpts of interviews with Gideon Obarzanek, Jill Johnson and Rachid Ouramdane. It has been an exciting and educational experience to work with Marc Kirschner from TenduTV and co-Exec producer Kevin Harkins to put together a very dynamic and deep program that reflects the sophistication of our artists/thinkers/researchers. TenduTV will be available on Sling.com and TidalTV. Dance Tech: The meetup

The first-ever Dance Tech meetup was a great success. Guest speakers Robert Wechsler from Palindrome (Germany), Dawn Stoppiello from Troika Ranch (USA/Germany)and Deirdre Towers from the Dance Films Association (USA), shared with more than 30 people their perspectives and experience on interactive performance, the use of real-time tools for creation and contemporary dance films. Many thanks are owed to Dance New Amsterdam for allowing us to use their beautiful theater for the evening and to Jaki Levy form Misnomer Dance Company for co-organizing this event!

I recently returned from Brazil, where I attended the 7th Encuentro Red Sudamericana de Danza, which took place during the International Dance Festival in Recife. This annual event gathers the core members of the South American dance network to evaluate and develop strategies for collaboration among all levels of the cultural production and research of dance. I was honored to share with them my experience with dance-tech.net, and we became a model for the launching of their own social networking site. We had very interesting discussions and some of the topics were of a very high level: epistemology of the south, networks and cultural enterprise and amazing beaches! I hope you’ll all join me in welcoming Red Sudamericana de Danza as a partner network! http://movimientolaredsd.ning.com/ CALL for Projects!! INTERFACING MOTION with Wireless Miditron Fall 2008 dance-tech.net with the support of Eroktronix is launching the contest "Interfacing Motion with MidiTron Wireless" to support a young active dance/performance artist in his or her initial explorations on interactive multimedia control for live performance of movement. For each of two consecutive 6-month periods,a selected artist will be given a new MidiTron Wireless to be used as an interface in new project involving the use of physical sensors for gestural control of multimedia during live performance. Back to Post Me_New ID From their site: The forum is planned as a platform for reflection on how we are creatively and socially engaged in digital networks, how we perform our online and offline identities, how we have become plural and variable post human bodies. Among the speakers and performers there will be kondition pluriel (Germany/Canada), Mika Satomi and Hannah Perner-Wilson (Austria), Steve Dixon (UK), Yacov Sharir (USA), Masaki Fujihata (Japan), Hellen Sky (Australia), Denisa Kera (Czech Republic/Singapore), Michael Takeo Magruder (US/UK), Fiddian Warman (UK), Sita Popat (UK), Susanne Berkenheger (Germany) and many more. Sounds very interesting! So, if you are around…let’s meetup! Until next time, Marlon
