Technology, the Body, and Choreography

Free residency at Lake Studios Berlin sponsored by TroikaTronix – Mark Coniglio

We invite dance makers invested in the field of technology to apply for this special 4 - 6 week residency hosted at Lake Studios Berlin between July 1 – August 15 2018

We are searching for artists who consciously use elements of technology to affect the choreographic process and performance. We look for work that uses technology to expand or intervene in the body’s performative and choreographic possibilities while keeping the human body in the foreground of the work. The role of the technology should be integral to the choreographic expression: it should connect, organize or disrupt the body or bodies aesthetically, socially, or politically.

To apply please submit the following (please use the provided application form provided if possible!):

-  An artist statement (no more than 200 words) about how you define, perceive and work with the element of technology in your 

   performance work.

-  A description (no more than 500 words) of what you would like research and develop during the residency

-  Supporting video and documentation material of current and/or past work

-  Your CV and the CVs of any collaborating artists

We will provide:

• a private room and access to a shared kitchen, and bathroom in the Lake Studios Complex for one person. A second bed is available in the room.

• 100 hours of studio space divided between our small and large studios

• Technical equipment: 2 beamers, selected stage lights/light board, sound system and mixer, microphones, sound recorder, video camera to record rehearsals, etc.

• A presentation of the first stage of the work for feedback in our performance series Unfinished Fridays on July 27

• 2 hours of coaching by Mark Coniglio (creator of the media programming software Isadora)

• 50€/ week stipend

The selected resident must provide his/her own transportation and meals.

Lake Studios would like to thank TroikaTronix, maker of Isadora, for their generous financial support of this residency.

Please submit your application with the subject line “Dance/Tech Residency 2018”

by March 15, 2018 to lakestudiosberlin@gmail.com

​

We will notify all artists of the selection results by March 22, 2018.

Seminario Intensivo de Danza y Tecnología Digital Interactiva

Gilles Jobin has created a choreographic work in immersive virtual reality. With VR_I, the choreographer will invite the audience for a unique sensory experience. Equipped with virtual reality headsets, five visitors at a time freely navigate a real world inhabited by virtual dancers. Developed in association with Artanim, the work will hold its World Premiere from 6 to 10 October at the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montreal.

A choreographer combines dance with immersive virtual reality in a work that provides viewers with a unique sensory experience. Blending art with technology, VR_I resulted from the encounter between Gilles Jobin and the founders of Artanim, Caecilia Charbonnier and Sylvain Chagué, motion capture technology experts and virtual reality pioneers in Switzerland and abroad. In association with them, Gilles Jobin developed VR_I, a work in which the creator questions our perception of reality and enters new unexplored and unchartered territories for contemporary dance. Thanks to the virtual reality technology developed by Artanim, VR_I viewers equipped with virtual reality headsets and backpack computers move freely in a total virtual space. Five viewers at a time may explore this world, moving in turn in an endless desert, an urban landscape or inside a loft at the top of a mountain. Participants each embody an avatar that faithfully replicates their movements, enhancing the feeling of immersion in the virtual world while also enabling them to see their peers. During the experience, participants can thus interact physically and even communicate with the others. Five virtual dancers then come to blur their perception, multiplying, growing to the point of becoming giants or becoming tiny. With these effects of scale, Gilles Jobin addresses the concept of spatiality in a truly original way. The international cast for this work that was designed and produced in Switzerland features American composer Carla Scaletti, Belgian fashion designer Jean-Paul Lespagnard and dancers Victoria Chiu, Susana Panadés Diaz, Diya Naidu, Tidiani N’Diaye and Gilles Jobin himself.

More project info and dates

I am pleased to announce the release of A Performer's Perspective, an interactive online documentary that transmits the perspectives of three dancers in Judith Garay's multimedia dance work THE FINE LINE ~ twisted angels.

The overarching goal of this project is to translate and extend one’s perceptions of dance movement while also exploring how interaction and digital technology can be utilized to better communicate bodily knowledge to a broad audience.

The design of the site is inspired by a close reading analysis I conducted of The Synchronous Objects website (published in the MOCO  2014 conference proceedings) and seeks to present the dancer’s data through three interactive categories: instructional, exploratory, and translational.

The Instructional portion of the website includes reflections from the performers in selected scenes from THE FINE LINE~twisted angels and short documentary videos related to the making of the THE FINE LINE ~twisted angels and each dancer’s perspective: Vanessa Goodman, Bevin Poole, and Antonio Somera. 

In the Exploratory section we visualize the dancers’ movement data, collected with various motion sensors such as, the Myo armband and the Microsoft Kinect camera.  In future versions of the site, this section will be expanded to include more options for viewers to interact with the data.

The Translational section re-imagines the dancers’ data through varying artistic representations including music, animations, and visualizations. 

I am extremely grateful to the design/implementation team that has made the creation of this site possible including: Omid Alemi, Ethan Soutar-Rau, Theo Wong, Linda Nguyen, Professor Thecla Schiphorst, and the many other researchers that helped out along the way. Please see full credits here.

This project is still in development and if you have suggestions or ideas for future collaborations I would love to hear from you!

Dear friends of dance-tech,

I am introducing to you the new site of the innovative low-residency MFA Choreography from Jacksonville University in Puerto Rico.  The project received its first 10 students from across the globe this summer.  The site in Puerto Rico has been explicitly designed to serve as a bridge to Latin American artists who are seeking professional development.

Hombroich : Summer Fellows 2017

Raketenstation Hombroich

July 22nd  to August 5th
Open days: Saturday, July 29th and Wednesday, August 2nd from 10am to 8 pm

Concept by: Saša Asentić

Artists:

Xavier Le Roy, Christine De Smedt, Scarlet Yu, Emily Hoffman, Mohamad Abassi, Sebastian Matthias, Alexandre Achour, Jule Flierl, Julia von Leliwa, Marlon Barrios Solano, Gillian Walsh, Guo Rui, Frosina Dimovska, Mila Pavićević, and Dunja Crnjanski

This year’s edition of the Hombroich : Summer Fellows at the Raketenstation Hombroich is conceived as a discursive and performative event. The international group of artists will lodge at the guesthouse "Kloster" and they will gather to experiment with hybrid performance structures and explore new formats for presenting and making dance. 

Given that today the large majority of dance artists do not have access to basic productions means, the resources and infrastructures of the contemporary dance scene will be critically reflected on during this encounter. It will serve as a starting point for the exchange of different practices that these artists have developed in their specific contexts in Iran, China, Serbia, Croatia, Germany, Belgium, France, and the USA.

During the Hombroich : Summer Fellows 2017 invited artists will examine and discuss concrete possibilities for creating non-standard dance formats that are material reflections of their working conditions, production means, artistic concerns, and modes of organisation.

Visitors will have the opportunity to join the participating artists on July 29th and August 2nd. These two open day sessions are an invitation to think together about political aspects of artistic works and actions.

Hombroich : Summer Fellows 2017 is supported by the Verein zur Förderung des Kunst- und Kulturraumes Hombroich e.V..

This text finds the intimate affinity between dance and philosophy in the concept of problem and invites the reader to perceive dance and philosophy as a form of ballistics: the art of throwing. On one hand, this text is an invitation to look at dance not necessarily as an artistic practice but rather as an affirmative force that manifests itself as an expression of the power to turn any domain into a dance floor. On the other hand, this text also understands philosophy as an invitation to dance a problem, or, in other words, philosophy is a practice of choreographing the trajectories of problems.

"Motion Bank has explored intersections of dance and technology since 2010 building on projects that reach back to as early as 1994. Technology for us is an enabler, an invitation to see more and take new perspectives on an art form that is inherently hard to translate into other domains outside the body. We know Marlon for a long time and have been following his relentless efforts in shaping dance-tech.net for this community and hence are happy to now be able to support it."

Call For Proposals

5th IDOCDE Symposium on Contemporary Dance Education

July 28 - 30, 2017 at ImPulsTanz Vienna International Dance Festival

why compromise. mind the dance.

promoting actions and creative visions in a precarious world

Informed by the developments in the world of socio-politics – and the cultural attention that goes along with it – we at the IDOCDE headquarters decided it was time to frame our annual Call for Proposals as a Call for Action. This decision is to address the theme of the 5th IDOCDE Symposium.

The theme of the 5th IDOCDE Symposium – why compromise. mind the dance – is different from the previous themes in that it does not only ask you – the dance educator, artist, student, cultural worker, and the participant in the making of The World – to look inwards and reflect on your developing practice, share your reflections and by doing so enrich the experience of others. The aim of this year’s Symposium is also to ask you to add an outward-looking reflection whilst asking the question: what is my practice actually doing to the world – given my experience of managing personal pedagogic and artistic practices? How are my pedagogic and artistic decisions shaping the world of others – my students? My peers? And what, in particular, is the effect of the decisions I am not making?

(The time for mulling around is up.) 

Assuming that compromise is somewhat a part of everyone's daily life, we ask: What do you actually do when you compromise? What are the reasons for which you compromise? And how long do you think it will be possible for you to continue that practice?

We are not interested in asking you to imagine a world without compromise. This is not a utopian exercise. What we are inviting you to is, thinking thoroughly about compromise. And consider what kind of world your practice is creating. What kind of institutions, what kind of organisations, what kind of ecosystems, what kind of politics, what kind of families. 

Instead of stepping into the trap of ‘judge-mentality’, we would like to ask you to join us, think together with us; to pose sincere, straightforward, and challenging questions. In short, we would like to ask you to approach this Symposium with the clarity of body-mind you may have never dared to engage with before in a public space, and by doing things you may have never dared to do before in a public space. In other words, we would like to ask you to approach this challenge – ‘as a human being’, an experienced participant in an alliance of individuals, artists and educators. 

We hope this call is inspiring and exciting; resonating with your priorities, with your practices, with your interests, and with your passions for dancing – if so send your proposal today! And help us bring about a Symposium that will not only enrich, but that will also move – move participants to action. Help inspire, inform, and support our community by exposing your experiences: Your physical practices, your pedagogic practices, your theoretical practices, your artistic practices. Your public thoughts, your intimate thoughts, your affirmative thoughts, your challenging and critical thoughts.

Help encourage the community by joining this alliance. Participate at the 5th IDOCDE Symposium on contemporary dance education and so – help make a difference!

Proposal for “why compromise. mind the dance.” and their formats* may include the following, but are not limited to these:

Emerging practices in the oscillation between art-making and education

Examples you find within you or around you, or in other landscapes beyond dance as a response-ability to the world around you

Movement(s)

Philosophy in and of dance

Political actions

Historical context(s)

Proposals that address the how we are being with each other right now right here

Scores

Workshops

Classes

Lectures

Installations

Performative actions

Hang outs

Site-responsive

Mediated spaces (virtually and non-virtually)

*We invite you to challenge (or not) the ‘usual’, the ‘conventional’, the ‘traditional’ formats of public presentations and sharings, teachings by staging your sessions in a way that aligns the staging to your thinking and ‘the doing of your thinking’. In other words, we invite you to think ‘outside the box’. This might be the opportunity for some to question or problematize the assumed role language has in enabling communication. What of your thinking would best be communicated in words, and what of your thinking would best be communicated in experience, performance, movement, action, etc?

IDOCDE invites contemporary dance practitioners, dance and movement educators, researchers, theoreticians and other practitioners contributing to this field

to submit proposals for the 5th IDOCDE Symposium!

All practical or theoretical proposals centered on aspects of teaching, researching or practicing dance, in relation to the proposed theme, are being considered.

Formats might range from teaching a class and sharing reflections, hosting a lecture demonstration, talk or discussion, to more uncommon or experimental formats, or anything in between.

Propositions of a length up to 2 hours (ideally 90 minutes, longer or durational propositions will be considered whenever possible), individual and team proposals from teachers all over the world and the IDOCDE community are warmly welcome. 

Please fill in the PROPOSAL FORM by creating a new idoc under your profile and add it into the Symposium Folder before February 15th, 2017.

• If you feel inspired but you’re unsure of how to frame your thoughts within the parameters given by this form – please contact pavle.heidler@idocde.net
• Complete the proposal form on idocde.net and send a copy to lieve.de.pourcq@idocde.net
• For technical issues/ idocde website, please contact defne.erdur@idocde.net

Your Symposium and REFLEX project team:

Defne Erdur, Eszter Gál, Pavle Heidler, Kerstin Kussmaul, Lieve de Pourcq, Martin Streit 

The IDOCDE symposium is part of the EU program REFLEX EUROPE.

REFLEX researches and uses documentation as a tool for reflection in order to improve the teaching and to increase the impact on the learners in contemporary dance.
