DANCE THEATER WORKSHOP launches THE 2009-2010 SEASON

Posted by Marlon Barrios Solano on July 9, 2009 at 7:30pm
September 8, 2009 - April 4, 2010 Dance Theater Workshop’s 2009-2010 season showcases dedication to artistic exploration, innovation, and quality programming through Dance Theater Workshop’s commissioning program, Season of Returns, Studio Series Creative Residency Program, Fresh Tracks Performance and Residency Program, Lobby TALKS, and Family Matters. Strategic partnerships with DanceNOW [NYC], Barnard College, Urban Word NYC, 651 ARTS, FIAF’s Crossing the Line Festival, and Performa 09, and new partnerships with Baryshnikov Arts Center, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Anne Bogart’s SITI Company extend our ability to provide access to diverse and significant cultural programming. “Dance Theater Workshop continues to enact its promise to provide a holistic ecology for artists and audiences alike, and we invite you to enjoy and engage in a rich, provocative range of contemporary dance and performance, significant legacy works, and animated conversations in our 2009 – 2010 season. With our reduced prices and new fee-free ticketing, we are excited to offer even wider access to contemporary culture and global artistic practice,” said Carla Peterson, Artistic Director. As the go-to destination for contemporary dance and performance, the upcoming season highlights the work of internationally acclaimed artists Bruno Beltrão, Nora Chipaumire, Lucy Guerin (Australia), Miguel Gutierrez, Raimund Hoghe (France/Germany), Koosil-Ja Hwang, Tere O’Connor, and Yasuko Yokoshi. Kimberly Bartosik, Faye Driscoll, Neal Medlyn, Hwang and Yokoshi make Dance Theater Workshop debuts and choreographers Ursula Eagly, Kennis Hawkins and Will Rawls (Dance Gang), Ori Flomin, and Mina Nishimura share programs. Now in its third season, the critically acclaimed Season of Returns remounts Anna Halprin’s historically influential Parades and Changes and Urban Bush Women’s Jawole Willa Jo Zollar explores her early investigations into the sensual. Doug Elkins and David Parker and the Bang Group celebrate the holidays with their illustrious renditions of family favorites, The Sound of Music (FRÄULEIN MARIA) and The Nutcracker (Nut/Cracked). Nora Chipaumire and Pat Graney perform off-site. SNAPSHOTS: 2009 – 2010 PERFORMANCES & EVENTS The DanceNOW [NYC] Festival, Sep 8 – 12: Whether you're a seasoned dance-goer or have never seen a dance performance, the DanceNOW Festival is the way to experience the brightest, hippest, smartest, sexiest and most stunning hip hop, theater, pointe, and contemporary dance companies in NYC today. DanceNOW’s 15th Anniversary Celebration presents over fifty choreographers who honor DanceNOW’s past, present, and future direction. For show details visit dancenownyc.org. Curtain time: Tuesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $20 Advance Sale, $25 at the Door Miguel Gutierrez and the Powerful People, Last Meadow, Sep 15 – 19: Last Meadow is a dream-like visit into an America in a state of collapse. Inspired by James Dean’s classic films – East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant – the piece exploits the iconic and seductive image of James Dean as a symbol of the ways we project unrealistic expectations onto our identity as a nation. Last Meadow is about acknowledging confusion and the state of waiting, where what you need never comes. Starring Michelle Boulé, Tarek Halaby and Miguel Gutierrez, Last Meadow features a soundtrack created by Neal Medlyn and lighting by longtime collaborator Lenore Doxsee. Curtain time: Tuesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15

Photo: Eric McNatt Raimund Hoghe, Boléro Variations, Sep 23 – 25: Co-Presented with FIAF’s Crossing the Line Festival. Highly regarded German writer, performer, and choreographer, Raimund Hoghe makes his long awaited US debut with Boléro Variations. Once a behind-the-scenes dramaturge for Pina Bausch, Raimund has thrown his own “body into the fight,” energizing and destabilizing audiences as he questions our conceptions of abnormality. Boléro Variations, created in Paris in 2007, features Ravel’s Boléro as well as fado and folksongs. Crossing the Line is FIAF’s annual fall festival, produced in partnership with leading New York cultural institutions, and conceived as a platform to present vibrant new works by a diverse range of transdisciplinary artists working in France and New York City. Curtain time: Wednesday - Friday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15, FIAF Members $12 Lucy Guerin Inc, Structure and Sadness, Sep 30 – Oct 3: Presented in partnership with Baryshnikov Arts Center. Australian choreographer Lucy Guerin uses the 1970 collapse of the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne Australia, where 35 men lost their lives, as a starting point for Structure and Sadness. The work explores these events as a physical, emotional and visual response to a devastating accident. On stage, the six performers employ a movement vocabulary based on the engineering principles of compression, suspension, torsion and failure to construct a precarious world teetering on the point of collapse. Curtain time: Thursday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15

Photo: Jeff Busby Ursula Eagly, Fields of Ida; Ori Flomin, Toronto; Mina Nishimura, Timmy’s Idea, Oct 7 – 10: Ursula Eagly builds strange yet recognizable worlds. Her newest solo, Fields of Ida, is set on a bare stage, where movements and songs create an ornate universe of their own. Here, Ursula evokes the post-apocalyptic landscape described in Norse mythology, where destruction and regeneration co-exist. Toronto is a trio inspired by newly-found super-8 footage of Ori Flomin’s early childhood. Beginning with these documented memories of family jaunts and bringing in longtime friends Antonio Ramos and Colleen Thomas to perform, Ori creates a dance that translates a sense of youthful innocence and camaraderie through the well-trained adult body. Toronto features sound design by James Lo and video installation by Carlos Moore. Born in Tokyo, Japan, and a New Yorker since 2001, Mina Nishimura’s work is “both dense and rewarding, heavy and refreshing, always unpredictable and sometimes funny.” (offoffoff.com) Mina’s new work, Timmy’s Idea, exists within a particular set of rules where time, space and events are consciously and unconsciously moving in one direction. Using both text and movement vocabularies the work exaggerates commonplace ideas of time, thought, and emotion. Curtain time: Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15 Neal Medlyn, …Her’s A Queen; Dance Gang (Kennis Hawkins and Will Rawls), Dog Breaks, Oct 22 – 24: …Her’s A Queen is Neal Medlyn’s fifth pop-star opus and the first installment in a two-part Britney Spears/Hannah Montana extravaganza, built around the idea and music of Britney Spears, purity, and non-sexual touch. There will be overlapping stories and bears and abstinence and unwashed hair and dance moves and knives and snakes and laptops and cuddle parties and babies. …Her’s A Queen features Neal and Carmine Covelli with live music from Farris Craddock. Dance Gang was founded in 2006 as a performance outlet for dancers Kennis Hawkins and Will Rawls. Dance Gang's projects include site-specific, guerilla-style performance, gallery installations, and stage work. Their newest stage work, Dog Breaks, will set the stage as the evening’s opening act. Expect their signature blend of direct audience engagement and archly spurious logic as they reference pop iconography, dance, and perform live music. Curtain time: Thursday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15 SITI Company, Antigone, Oct 28 – Nov 1: SITI Company’s most recent addition to its repertoire is a starkly contemporary retelling by Irish writer Jocelyn Clarke of Sophocles’ classic tale of family loyalty, patriotism, war, and the powers of the state. Antigone, the cursed daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, defies the King of Thebes for the right to bury her own brother. Do not miss SITI Company's embodiment of one of humankind's most enduring and influential stories. Curtain Time: Wednesday – Friday at 7:30pm, Saturday & Sunday at 3:00pm & 7:30pm; Ticket Price: $25 regular, $20 students SITI Company, SITI Company Mondays @ DTW, Nov 23, Dec 14, Jan 25, Feb 22, Mar 8: Five evenings, five windows into the creative process of the groundbreaking SITI Company that, over the past 17 years, has been altering the DNA of the theatrical art form. Join Anne Bogart and SITI in an interactive journey through the company's repertoire and methods - past, present and future. Curtain Time: Mondays at 7:30pm Tickets: $10 each evening/$40 for all 5 Tere O’Connor Dance, Nov 10 – 14: In his new work, Tere O’Connor embraces the tension between fixed states and constant change as a fundamental ingredient in choreographic thought. With a focus on spanning this divide, O’Connor’s complex movement networks will be interrupted by the spontaneous choreographic choices made by the dancers in each performance. The movement, lighting, music and set will shift from meticulous calculation to chance, connecting and disengaging, as the contours of the dance take shape. The work features an original score by longtime collaborator James Baker, lighting design by Michael O’Connor, and is performed by Hilary Clark, Daniel Clifton, Erin Gerken, Heather Olson, Matthew Rogers and Christopher Williams. Curtain time: Tuesday – Saturday at 7:30pm, Friday at 10pm; Tickets: $15 Anna Halprin, Anne Collod & guests, parades & changes, replays, Nov 18 – 21: Presented in partnership with Performa 09. In 1965, postmodern dance legend Anna Halprin’s Parades & Changes shook the dance world by challenging conceptions of nudity, stillness, and the “ceremony of trust” (as Halprin named it) between performers and audience. Originally banned in the United States, Parades & Changes has not been staged here since 1967. Today, French choreographer Anne Collod, in dialogue with Anna Halprin and original composer Morton Subotnick, is restaging this seminal work, bringing a highly acclaimed group of American and European performers together to relive this masterpiece in its new form, parades & changes, replays. Performa 09 (November 1-22, 2009, New York City) is the third edition of the internationally acclaimed biennial of new visual art performance presented by Performa, a non-profit multidisciplinary arts organization dedicated to exploring the critical role of live performance in the history of twentieth century art and to encouraging new directions in performance for the twenty-first century. www.performa-arts.org. Curtain time: Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $25 The Barnard Project at Dance Theater Workshop, Dec 3 – 5: Created in 2004, The Barnard Project at Dance Theater Workshop was the first university partnership of its kind, pairing artists presented at Dance Theater Workshop with Barnard College dance students in a residency environment. Now in its fifth year, The Barnard Project offers both choreographers and students a rare opportunity to work within a large group of dancers in an educational environment that exposes everyone involved to new processes. The resulting new works by 2009-2010 artists Brian Brooks, Juliana May, Vicky Shick, and Kota Yamazaki are performed at Dance Theater Workshop. Curtain time: Thursday – Saturday at 7:30pm, Saturday at 2pm; Tickets: $20 HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA: Doug Elkins & Friends, FRÄULEIN MARIA, Dec 10 – 12, 17 – 19; David Parker and The Bang Group, Nut/Cracked, Dec 13, 19, 20: A love letter to his young son Liam and daughter Gigi, Doug Elkins’ FRÄULEIN MARIA has wowed audiences since its 2006 premiere. This delightful take on Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music includes ballet, hip-hop, voguing, stepping, stomping and more. Directed by Barbara Karger and Michael Preston, this New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award winning piece is a holiday treat not to be missed. Curtain time: Thursday – Saturday at 7:30pm David Parker and The Bang Group’s Nut/Cracked is the contemporary dance world’s beloved version of The Nutcracker. With an enterprising mix of tap, ballet, contemporary, disco and even toe tap, Parker conjures a comic, subversive neo-vaudeville tinged with whimsy. Danceded to novelty and popular arrangements of the score as well as the traditional orchestral suite, Nut/Cracked premiered at Dance Theater Workshop in 2004 and has been touring ever since. See it while it’s home for the holidays! Curtain time: Saturday and Sunday at 2:00pm. Tickets: $25 for one show; $40 for both, Discounted tickets (members, seniors, children under 16): $20 for one show; $35 for both, Family Package (tickets to both shows, 2 adults, 2 children under 16): $100 Urban Word NYC presents Journal to Journey, Dec 15: Presented in partnership with Urban Word NYC. These new solo works by young poets navigate a path through hurt and hope on a journey towards self. Equipped with pen as compass and journal as road map, they discover that life is full of moments that will carry you as far and as deep as you are willing to go. Poets are paired with Writing Mentor Darian Dauchan and Director/Choreographer Nicco Annan. Curtain time: Tuesday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $5 Urban Bush Women, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Artistic Director, Zollar: Uncensored, Jan 20 – 23: Kicking off the Urban Bush Women’s 25th Anniversary season, Zollar: Uncensored explores and interrogates Jawole Willa Jo Zollar’s early investigations into the sensual and the power of women. Her early work explored these themes; however they were considered by many to be too controversial for touring in the late 80’s. This is the first time since that time period that Jawole has revisited this content. Still interested in “erotic integrity,” Jawole examines an essential aspect of human nature from an empowered stance. Curtain time: Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $25 Kimberly Bartosik/daela, The Materiality of Impermanence, Feb 4 – 6: Kimberly Bartosik’s newest evening-length work, The Materiality of Impermanence, investigates the traces and residues bodies leave on each other. Distinctly cinematic, the piece consists of a series of scenes which spring up spontaneously the way memories suddenly find their way into our consciousness. These scenes - defined through sparseness, stillness, silence, and a sense of time passing - are performed within Roderick Murray’s set made entirely of LED lights, creating a luminescent trace of a home. The work will be performed by Kimberly, Joanna Koetze, and Marc Mann, with original music by Luke Fasano. Curtain time: Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15 FRESH TRACKS Performance and Residency Program, Feb 11 – 13: Created in 1965, Fresh Tracks is Dance Theater Workshop’s longest running series of new dance and performance. Featuring works by emerging artists selected through open auditions, Fresh Tracks artists are presented each year and receive a 50 hour creative residency along with introductory level professional development workshops in marketing and fundraising strategies. Artists also participate in dialogue sessions with Artistic Advisor Levi Gonzalez, facilitating open discussion about their creative process. The Fresh Tracks Performance and Residency Program is supported, in part, by the Greenwall Foundation. Curtain time: Thursday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15 Bruno Beltrão/Grupo de Rua , H3, Feb 2010: Brazilian choreographer, Bruno Beltrão makes his NYC debut in an anticipated first ever US tour that highlights his remarkable fusion of hip hop and contemporary dance. In his latest work H3, nine dancers from Bruno’s company Grupo de Rua create astonishing duets as they collide and balance against each other, incorporating elements of krumping, popping and floor-spins. Bruno’s choreography has won him a string of accolades including 'Upcoming Choreographer of the Year' from Balletanz Magazine. Curtain time: TBA; Tickets: $15. koosil-ja/danceKUMIKO, Blocks of Continuality/ Body, Image, and Algorithm, Mar 3 – 6: Continuing her investigation started in deadmandancing Excess, mecha [a]OUTPUT and Dance Without Bodies, Koosil-Ja‘s newest work Blocks of Continuality/ Body, Image and Algorithm uses Live Processing, a performance technique and video system, to create and perform movement that is new to the dancers and is simultaneously shared with the audience. The work is created in collaboration with 17 partners ranging from 3D programmers to performers, the work experiments with ideas of synesthesia, transcoding, and percept vs. perception as a means of experiencing the potential of a dynamically networked body in a digital environment. Curtain time: Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15 Yasuko Yokoshi, Tyler Tyler, Mar 17 – 20: Tyler Tyler resumes Yasuko Yokoshi's artistic partnership with Masumi Seyama, revered master teacher of Kabuki Su-Odori dance and the heir to the legacy of Kanjyuro Fujima VI, one of the renowned Kabuki choreographers of the 20th Century in Japan. Together they deconstruct new choreographic material from Fujima's classical dance repertories. Yokoshi and Seyama dare to face boundaries of different training, cultural code and social hierarchy yet simultaneously desire to cherish the forms and beauty of universal language of dance. Tyler Tyler features the oldest disciple and member of Seyama Dance Family, Kayo Seyama; a young Kabuki actor, Kuniya Sawamura; and an actor from the Bungakuza Theater Company, Asaji Naoki. In the United States Yokoshi collaborates with American contemporary dancers Julie Alexander and Kayvon Pourazar and singer Steven Reker, who has just returned from a world tour with Talking Heads. Curtain time: Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15 Faye Driscoll, There is so much mad in me, Mar 31 – Apr 3: In a time of distraction, voyeurism and over stimulation, how do we experience authentic connection? Faye Driscoll investigates the physical and theatrical narratives that drive our misplaced need to be seen. From creating facades to seeking the divine to committing violent acts and falling in love, There is so much mad in me looks into the ways we fail, succeed, and get lost in the chase for true connection. Curtain time: Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Tickets: $15 Urban Word NYC presents12th Annual Teen Poetry Slam Semi-Final, March 2010: Urban Word NYC's 12th Annual Teen Poetry Slam brings out the top teen poets from across the city.

Madrid-HelloWorld!, Contemporary Stage Creation and New Technologies

Posted by helena febres fraylich on June 25, 2009 at 4:27pm
What is HelloWorld!The project aims to foster the dialog between new technologies and performing arts, considering that in our city is more common to find works based in installations, contemporary art or interactive and non performative works. We will try to explore stage possibilities of new technologies by creating a small format project production platform for contemporary theater. And therefore, to explore different disciplines such as moving artes, object theater, children theater, etc.These workshops will try to create a work and project production platform within the framework of Medialab Prado and HelloWorld!Projects will be selected through an open call to be collaboratively developed. One of the most important requirements of the proposals is to join new technologies and stage work: contemporary performance, moving arts, narrative, visual, openframeworks, Pure data, processing, OpenGl, augmented reality, metaverse, electronics, robotics, videogames, interaction, etc. The call is aimed at performing arts creators, performres, choreographers, visual and object theater artists, etc, and encourages the reflection about stage space, public space and narrative forms that arise through the interaction of both disciplines.25.06.2009 / 19hsplace: Medialab Prado · Plaza de las Letras, C/ Alameda, 15 Madridhttp://www.tea-tron.com/helloworld

ETP phase 1 :: workshop in prague | field report

Posted by European Tele-Plateaus on June 26, 2009 at 1:40pm
Prague (Ivor Diosi) participated in the trial bridge effort between Dresden and Madrid using this minimalist setup on my table, with my faithful oprec-testing doll:

image 1: actuality 2009-04-25Here's a slightly zoomed picture of the cameras I had at my disposal. To the left is a Creative Optia AF, a very solid webcam in its category. To the right is the camera module from TrackIR 4 Pro, which is in essence an infrared USB webcam. Unfortunately, the directshow filter from the manufacturer's website, which I figured would make its image accessible from Kalypso, and had to be installed on top of its driver, was crashing my workstation. I decided to stuck with the Optia and move on.

image 2: cameras 2009-04-25This is the screenshot of Kalypso settings, using a patch which I shamelessly modified from Frieder's original design for the day. You can notice the ambition to include an iPhone in the mix.

image 3: kalypsopatch 2009-04-25I had had arranged for some port forwarding the day before with our kind netadmin, ports 7000-7010 were being forwarded to my workstation, so I was hoping for clear reception. Kalypso and oscclient installed/run without any hitches. Upon closer look with OSC Monitor, I can confirm I was receiving contourDresden and contourMadrid messages. The later until late at night, and its preview is what's shown on the first two shots above. Also, for the record, I did recognize the movement pattern early on :-)

Data Workshop 5.0 - call for entries

Posted by body pixel on August 7, 2009 at 9:26am

Workshop:Data Workshop 5.0: “Sound Dig”Location:This workshop will be hosted by IMOCA at Plane / Site Galleries on Lad Lane,Dublin 2, just off Baggot Street.Cost:30 EURO (for basic materials, etc..) - 25 EURO for StudentsWhen:30th of August from 10.30 to 17.30Instructors:Lead by Dave Lawrence (UK)Dave Lawrence sound artist/performer, and specialising in digital creativity at Middlesex University (London UK) - someone that ’meddles’ with objects and devices (analogue/electrical/electronic/digital) as part of the practice of exploring sound, its science & nature, composition aesthetics, and the technology & interaction issues involved. Dr Dave, aka Sponde, has created numerous collaborative installations and performances in the UK, and across Europe in Germany, Finland, Portugal, Poland, Greece, and Denmark, and soon to be in The Republic of Ireland.Workshop Description:If you are interested in sound itself and the prospect of prospecting for sound amongst relics of technology and in the physical structures that carry technology, then this workshop might be for you. Its going to be like an archaeological dig – but it’s a delicate search through the architecture and workings of whatever items of technology we can find – almost new, retro, and totally archaic – a search for sound.Bring some things with you to investigate (anything electronic, or something with a motor or some electrical components – any technology really … steam powered would be great.. or mechanical..) – preferably items that hardly ever get used or are gathering dust on the bottom shelf in the kitchen, or in the garage…. and lets explore the possibilities of finding and making interesting sounds. Also, if you have a device to collect and record sounds it might be helpful to bring that along too – but we will have some equipment to share.We will be using custom made contact mics, air mics, picups, an MI5 telephone surveillance device, a VLF receiver, and maybe special vibrating devices here and there too (pending airport security approval…). It will almost certainly involve a degree of surgery (intrusive and non intrusive) to make physical and non-tactile connections to draw out the sounds. Its about caring for the technology, and being respectful of its history, construction and design – being imaginative about sonic potential, and nurturing the new life (sonic and creative) that you can give to that archaic piece of technology.We will use the sounds made and captured to make composition recordings, and also design how our ‘sound dig’ interventions could be used in live performance. As we are working with real objects and technology, there is a sculptural element to what we will be doing too. We hope to make a live public performance on the evening of the workshop, and if you are interested you could take part. The emotional impact of sounds made or captured from physical and real objects/devices can be immense, and that will hopefully be experienced in the workshop. The sounds carry with them the history and nature of that object.To take part in the workshop, you don’t need to be a skilled musician or technician, or experienced in making music in any way (but its fine if you are!) – but you definitely do need to like sound itself, …. and have some time on Sun 30th August 2009,….. and be in Dublin.Registration here

The cost of the course is $1200, plus $75 for the annual Harvestworks membership that is required to take the course. The course is March 17-21, Monday through Friday 10am to 6pm. Working in our computer lab after 6pm can also be arranged. Lecture demonstrations will alternate with practice time, and some of our Max-savvy interns can be available to assist during practice time. Workstations with Max/MSP/Jitter will be available, but it is also recommended that you bring your own laptop. The course will provide lots of practice and sample patches. Students enrolled in Max/MSP/Jitter related classes at Harvestworks are eligible for Cycling 74's educational discount when purchasing the software. The course is limited to 10 students. We will not provide meals or snacks for the course, but can point to lots of cheap dining places in the neighborhood. We also cannot provide accommodations, but can help with posting requests or bringing you in contact with other artists who might be able to help. New York State composers who would like to take this course can be eligible for travel subsidies from the New York State Music Fund. Please call in for details, the funds would be disbursed on a first come, first serve basis.

Day 2 - Basics of modular programming; live audio input; recording sound files; simple data storage. Day 3 - Controlled chaos; useful GUI objects; more data storage; basics of synthesis. Day 4: Interfacing with the outside world. Overview of MIDI, the HI object (game controllers), Wii controller, the Harvestworks Sensor Station, using a Wacom tablet. Wireless Miditron. Data storage. Day 5: Introduction to Jitter: Jitter matrix; basic matrix processing; playing and basic manipulation of QuickTime movies; basics of Open GL. INSTRUCTOR BIOS: DAFNA NAPHTALI has been a Max teacher and programmer at Harvestworks since 1995. She earned a degree in Music Technology at NYU. She was Chief Engineer of the NYU Music Technology Studios until 1998, and has taught Max there as an adjunct instructor since 1996. Naphtali is also an academic advisor for both undergraduate and graduate students in NYU's Music Technology program. She was a programmer for two years for many artists and her own projects at multi-channel sound gallery Engine 27. As a composer, writing custom Max/MSP programs since 1992 has enabled her to perform and compose using her laptop-based noise/audio processing “instrument” to alter the sound of her singing, vocalisms, personalized recordings as well as the sound of any musician playing with her. She has received commissions and awards from New York Foundation for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, Meet the Composer, Experimental TV Center, American Composers Forum, Brecht Forum, and has held residencies at STEIM (Holland), Music OMI and iEAR at Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute. http://www.dafna.info ZACHARY SELDESS currently works at Harvestworks as a resident Programmer/Teacher, and at Brooklyn College CUNY as adjunct faculty. He also works at The CUNY Graduate Center’s New media Lab creating interactive virtual sound environments in 3D Game Space using the Torque Game Engine and Max/MSP. He is currently pursuing a PhD in composition at The Graduate Center CUNY where his primary teachers are Amnon Wolman and Morton Subotnick. Previously he worked as a performer, composer, private teacher and adjunct professor at Wilbur Wright College and Harold Washington College in Chicago. As a composer, Zachary has collaborated with artists in many mediums including theater, dance, film, and poetry. He spends much of his time these days creating interactive media artwork, particularly within the Max/MSP/Jitter programming environment. Programming projects include work with Jane Rigler on Manhattan New Music Project's "Music Cre8tor", a sensor/software music-creating interface for developmentally challenged children. http://www.zacharyseldess.com/ HANS TAMMEN is currently Deputy Director at Harvestworks, and is responsible for the oversight of all projects related to Max/MSP/Jitter and Physical Computing, as well as managing the education program and the studios. In this position he encounters the projects of approx. 250 clients, students and Artist In Residence per year. After an initial degree in Adult Education in 1988 he taught as an adjunct at Kassel University, and as part of his works as a union technology consultant from 1992 to 2000 he held about 120 one to five-day seminars using modern seminar techniques like metaplan, role-plays, and others. As a composer/guitarist he is best known for his "Endangered Guitar" works, interfacing his guitar with Max/MSP. Signal To Noise called his works "...a killer tour de force of post-everything guitar damage", All Music Guide recommended him: "...clearly one of the best experimental guitarists to come forward during the 1990s." http://www.tammen.org
