Announcing our first summer lab for interactive media in performance! Directed by Johannes Birringer and Mark Coniglio, the workshop offers intensive training and possibilities for experimentation with mixed reality and real time architectures, programmable environments, interactive design and the integration of time-based media into live performance and installation.

The workshop addresses emerging and professional art practitioners, scientists, researchers, and students from different backgrounds in performance and new media committed to sharing their interest in developing a deeper understanding of composing work focused on real time, interactive or time-based experiences and multidisciplinary collaborative processes (video, sound processing, projection design, lighting, choreography and directing).

Participants will be in residence for the duration of the lab and offered our exceptional facilities for investigating performance and design techniques that will develop skills and inspire new ideas for working in mixed realities and interlinked physical/virtual or distributed aesthetics. The workshop will include examples and references to international stage works, choreographic systems, installations and site-specific works, as well as hands-on experimentation in full resolution with interactive systems.

Methodologies for the laboratory are conceived by theatre director and media artist Johannes Birringer, founder of the annual Interaktionslabor and professor of performance technologies at Brunel University (London), and Mark Coniglio, artistic co-director of Troika Ranch and creator of the Isadora software. Both artists are widely recognized for their pioneering work in the international performance and media network. Interaktionslabor was last offered on tour in Belo Horizonte, Brasil (2008), and Birringer’s and Coniglio’s work has been featured in numerous festivals and exhibitions around the world.

The activities of the lab are open to visitors, and information about the proceedings and the research process will be available soon.

Technology and Peace
The advent of new technologies has fundamentally changed the capacity for processing and exchanging
information in the 21st century. NGOs and
governments, and companies alike are just beginning to understand the
potential that these tools and systems can have in analyzing and
addressing a range of social problems. This dynamic one-week course
will explore how technology is being used to transform conflicts, build
more sophisticated statistical models, fight diseases, monitor
elections, distribute food, design better economic development measures,
and much more. It will also consider some of the key challenges related
to access, implementation, scale, and evaluation that working with
technology presents. The course is designed for professionals from both
the private and public sectors to assist them in developing strategies
and skills to benefit their organization amid this rapidly evolving
landscape. Participants can expect a hands-on and interactive learning
environment with a variety of real world examples from organizations
working in the field.

Dear dance-techers,

this is Marlon, the network producer and creator.

dance-tech.net was created in November 2007, since then we have grown to become a social network with almost 3000 international member. We all share our passion and curiosity for innovation, fearless creativity within movement arts and new media technologies.

dance-tech.net has evolved to produce:

The dance-tech.net interviews: a series of interviews with artists, technologies and theorists that has constituted a knowledge axis for the community

dance-techTV in-line video channel: a collaborative internet video channel that transmits hight quality content and provides the community with a platform for co-production of LIVE streaming of performances, conferences and any relevant events.

dance-tech.net receives more than 60000 page visits a months.

We have developed sustainable ways of producing digital content, establishing partnerships and collaborations that have helped dance-tech.net and its projects to grow as an important infrastructure of generosity, exchange and collaboration.

During these two and half years, several of our members have contributed with dance-tech.net beyond the content. They have facilitated and provided creative ways of engaging my work, our community and the use of our platforms. Some members have covered traveling costs and have offered me space for work in a research and teaching residency format. In such collaborations we have participated and developed several international educational and cultural projects in more than 15 countries. These strategies have definitely helped for the growth of the network, but they represented specific work such as teaching, consulting and development: work that was not directly related with the maintenance of the site, community facilitation and media production. Until now, the work is done without receiving direct compensation and I cover all the operational costs.

As you might have noticed, this April, dance-tech.net has opened it space to contextual advertising and we are offering low cost online services for the community and different kinds of membership.

Considering the number of people who visit and use dance-tech.net regularly, from individual artists to educational/artistic/research organizations, I believe that it would be feasible to make dance-tech.net sustainable without compromising the goal of providing free and open access to all its content and platforms.

Our goal is to raise at least $3,000 per month ($1.00 per member or 1000 members paying $3.00 a month), via your patronage of our community, especially those member who do can help. I propose a model that allows your generosity to support the project
distributing costs in a way that members with more resources are able
to help the rest of the community.This model acknowledges the differences in resources between countries, professions, career levels, organizations and fields. Organizations have a higher suggested monthly payment.

I ask you to consider becoming micro-patrons with a voluntary subscription model (micro-monthly payment). In-keeping with the spirit of generosity which has sustained this project until now, it seemed only appropriate that we find a model for financial sustainability that incorporates the ideals of offering free access to the platforms and the possibility of helping.

Explore the following links with the details of the services and the new membership system!

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

Leave comments here or email me at marlon@dance-tech.net

Thank you in advance for your understanding and on going support,

Marlon

Performing artists have long used "technologies" to induce creative states, expand
their capabilities, and alter their audience's perception of reality.
This week of discussion, performance, and participatory events will use a broad
definition of technology to bring to the surface an underlying aesthetic discussion
about incorporating technology into performance.

Technoshamanism is a term used for applying modern technology to traditional
shamanic practices. Contemporary performance is not shamanic practice, yet the
two share some important features. Technoshamanism is a messy term, yet for
some reason I've enjoyed using it as a placeholder for the messy terrain surrounding
transformation and art, states of being/consciousness in performance,
social sculpture projects that involve the shaping of perception, and a deeper
analysis of performance "technologies" and how they can be used effectively in
the alchemy of live performance. The concept of technoshamanism will serve as
a jumping off point for discussions between the artists presenting
work throughout the week.

Throughout the week there will be discrete planned events, including a trance
dance workshop and performance and a mind-altering sound event, and many
unplanned encounters, courtesy of Cyborg Nation. Cyborg Nation will serve as
the wild card that binds the different events together. Ongoing documentation of
Cyborg Nation, displayed as an accumulating installation, will serve also as an
ongoing record of the interaction between all the different events of the week.

This is the second part of the interview with choreographer and dancer Brice Leroux. Read the first part here: Interview with Brice Leroux, part 1, Dancing lumino kinetics

Electron-positron interaction from Continum by Brice Leroux


Could you describe a little bit the processes of your work from the beginning…

BL: I guess it depends on every process in particular. Of course, it’s always the first initial point, and it's about the movement and about the perception of this movement. So, I work on certain parameter of movement and then I’m trying to magnify the perception of this for the viewer.

Usually, it’s a physical process. First, it’s about what are your physical cababilities and how far can you go with it? The idea by itself is not important enough; it’s about how we are going with it? How far you’re going to bring it? And about the training with dancers

It’s a long process of building a technique, actually. Of course, it’s not only about us in the studio as performers, but also about the audience. I think that this experience of watching is important. Then, it’s a lot about the scenography, and the light and the costume. How it’s going to allow the audience to focus on the performance. This focusing is important. And I think that these experiments are a mayor issue, although they are not sensing physical experience, it’s about the perception.


Electron-positron interaction from Continum by Brice Leroux


I guess that’s how the process goes and I’m trying to take away everything that is not necessary for the experience, both for the ‘doer’ and for the viewer. On this way you can have full experience and really focus on what we are really doing.

What about these technical parameters? Because you’re using many elements that are based on science… in your work scenography takes an important place, it’s a huge element in your language… basically, the light is dancing, the sound is dancing…


BL: Right! Yeah, as a choreographer I feel as much as a visual artist then a choreographer. Because it’s about the perception of the movement. In this sense I feel like a visual artist and in a way, for me choreography should be a part of visual art. It’s working with the perception, what is specific here we have perception on human movement.

I’m focusing as much on the perception of the movement then on the movement. Of course, I’m also doing costumes, lights, scenography… for me all of these are part of my job, because it’s about the perception of the movement. I have never collaborated with a visual artist for instance, or with a scenographer, or costume designer…


LED cube, photo taken from Instructables


So, you are doing everything by yourself?

BL: Yes! But for me it's much more coherent this way, because I can't work on the movement and then let someone else to show it the way they want. I don’t want to work with visual artists who haven’t been through the whole process and decided randomly to pick up some element. This aspect is gonna magnify or hide somehow. I’m responsible for this, and on this way I’m the scenographer, and the costume designer, light designer, because it’s a part of the process.

It has to be me, who goes through all these processes, otherwise it can’t be coherent. It goes along the creation; all these aspects are going to be parallel works. For instance, I can’t work on the movement and then wander how I’m going to show this, it’s all the part of the same process.

I’m working on the light little by little as much as with the movement. It’s all part of the same process, it can’t be divided for me, and it would be totally incoherent to work on the movement and then let someone else decide how it’s gonna be shown.

Continum by Brice Leroux (c)


What are you seeking from your dancers?


BL: I want my dancers to go fully with the work. That they wanna go as far as they can building up a new technique every time with a new project, and not being afraid to spend hours and hours in the studio working on one simple thing, trying to bring it as far as they can.

You have rather good connections with Bulgaria? One of the company member is Bulgarian contemporary dancer Krassen Krastev...

BL: This just happened like this. Somehow I ended up in Bulgaria long time ago. I guess that was in 1992, if I’m correct, because I have won this Paris competition as a dancer. That was an arrangement with this competition, which is mostly ballet actually, I won it with contemporary dance, but it just happened that there was no first prize for ballet…

So, they have invited me in Varna to show my work. Of course, it was in the early nineties, still post communism situation, especially in Bulgaria; and there were mostly ballet happenings. I’ve felt a little bit like an alien in the middle of those things. I have showed them a quite contemporary solo in the middle of TuTu’s and point shoes, and Paquitas' and Copelias’… (laughs) which was really weird and I felt like most of the people were wondering what is this weird thing they were watching?


Continum by Brice Leroux (c)


But there were actually few people; somehow it seems that it opened a lot their view on what was possible. Although, maybe for three or four person in the audience. For me that was really a strong experience to see that I could touch few people, and that my work has changed their artistic lives.

That was quite intense experience. One of these few people was Krassen. When he saw my work, he founded contemporary dance company in Bulgaria, which was the first. So, it felt like there was some kind of connection. Few years later we met again and I proposed him to dance for me, and since then we have been collaborating and it’s been a great collaboration.

What artists did inspire you in your work?

BL: It’s hard to say. There are a lot of artists that I really like. But in my work, I tend to avoid influences because I’m trying to build what I think choreographic work should be. I don’t want to take it for granted that this is dance and I should go for this.

I’m trying to build my own ideas on what contemporary dance, choreographic composition should be for me. Yeah, I don’t feel any influences. I find the work I’m doing as I’m being completely within and that’s the way it should be.

Led Fiber Optics


What do you think about technology in dance?

BL: It’s just a tool. It’s not interesting by itself for me. I don’t need amazing technology. Actually for this solo, it’s the first time that I’m using some sort of new technology which is really simple. It was just this idea that the source light is lighting an object, but the object is being lit by itself, it’s the object itself that is giving light. And for this I had to investigate in new technology and I ended up working with this electronic luminescence which is kind of new.

Actually, it was really complicated to build this show because it was new, you don’t have a lot of information how this thing is going to work. That was the big part of the process to discover how this is working. There was not a lot of information on this. But it's just a tool, it could be something else. In other shows, I’m only using what’s already in the theatre. I’m not using a lot actually, just few lights most of people are using and I’m trying to get the most out of it.

Continum by Brice Leroux (c)


With this performance 'Solo#2-Fréquences' it was a little bit different. I wanted to use something we are bringing by ourselves. We have our lights; we have our curtains, the scenography that we are bringing with. In this situation when everybody is so close and all around you can not hide the source of light. So, then I needed to have light but not coming from outside. The source of light needed to be hidden, from every point of view. But it was just a tool to go where I wanted to go.

Do you work at the moment on some new piece?

BL: Yeah, I'm coming back to the trajectories in the space. Actually, I'm focusing more on bodies moving in the space and the interaction between the bodies. Rather then the movement of the body in one place, like in the 'Solo#2-Fréquences', where the body is not moving in the space. Then it's about the articulations of the body. I'm coming back more to trajectories and I would like to work now with more people. And again using the theatre context, front stage, big venues… we'll see how it goes…

Thank you, Brice!

French choreographer and dancer Brice Leroux presented in February his lumino kinetic dance piece 'Solo#2-Fréquences' at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb. The guest performance was organized by Eurokaz – The International Festival of New Theatre.

Brice Leroux (b. 1974) graduated from the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Lyon in 1992. For his First Solo he received a prize for best contemporary dancer at the Paris International Dance Competition and the Gold Medal of the city of Paris. In 1992 he was awarded a scholarship by the American Dance Festival in North Carolina and completed his training in New York at the studios of Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham.

In 1994 he moved to Brussels to dance with Rosas. Three years later Brice Leroux decided to give up this work and decided to the study of Musicology and Ethnomusicology at the University of Paris VIII. He worked with David Hernandez, George Alexander Van Dam (violinist in the Ictus Ensemble), Sarah Chase, Jean-Luc Ducourt and others.

In his work 'Solo#2-Fréquences' Leroux uses mathematical schemes applied on movements, LED art, and sound tempo. It's a poetic science on trajectories in space. Brice Leroux is a fascinating and uncompromising choreographer; and he doesn't care much about the establishment, but is fully committed to the processes of work.

Brice Leroux: Continum, photo by Wolfgang Kirchner (c)


Therefore, here is Brice Leroux to tell us more on his art_space_sound_body articulations...

Let's start with your education and interest in dance…


BL: First I've been trained as a ballet dancer. I guess like a lot of dancers, I was being educated like this till the age of sixteen and then I oriented myself to contemporary dance. I’ve studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Lyon. Afterwards, I left for the States to study a bit with the Cunningham Studio and with dancers of Trisha Brown Company. Voila! That’s about it, I’m mainly dance trained…

I’m very interested in your American experiences, because techniques by Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown are slightly different… What was it like to work with them?

BL: Right! Well, it’s true, the movements are very different in these two techniques, kind of opposite. For instance, Merce Cunningham did everything as a sort of geometry, whilst in Trisha Brown’s technique everything is more free and more like fluid forms. Trisha’s movements were actually informal in a way.

But at the same time, what was interesting to me was the fact that these techniques are really working mostly on the movement. And there is nothing theatrical in it, a dancer is a dancer and dancers are really not pretending to do something, just letting their bodies to work.



Photo: Gravitations by Brice Leroux (c)


I guess, some people would call it abstraction, but I don’t think it’s really abstract, because it’s still a human person doing it. So, I think there is still a possibility for the empathy for the viewer.

It can’t be abstract and for me really is important to define the art of dancing in a way. Like really playing with your body which is totally something else then being an actor, like pretending to live something else. I don’t feel like I’m pretending anything, I’m just playing with my body and I’m living the sensations it gives me, hoping that this is also 'lived' by the viewer, I guess.

Seems that you are interested lately more in corporal work and kind of minimalism… Is there anything that has triggered this interest particularly? When did you decide to do this kind of aesthetics?

BL: Well, I was just trying to learn as a composer. I guess I needed to focus on one figure at the time. I didn’t study choreography for instance, compositions and these kinds of things. My way of working is actually studying every aspect of what composition is. For instance, if I would work on trajectories in space that’s enough for me to focus on, without a need to also work on arms movement for instance or something else.

For me, there is my own 'composition' I work on and then, I work for the viewer… because I’m also trying to create things to let the viewer see this work on trajectories.



Gravitations-quatuor


Therefore, everything out of that I'm moving away to show what I want to see. Hence, I’m working on what’s necessary and what’s enough.
I’m not interested in minimalism itself. I’m just interested to focus on one aspect of compositions, if it’s already a full work, that's enough and I don't have to mix everything.

As for the viewer, I wanna show the specific thing I’m working on. I’m dividing it into parameters, only working on certain parameters at time.

What is your relation as a choreographer to the space… to theatre space? More precisely, how do you treat space in your work?

BL: Um, that’s a large question. As for theatre space, I started experimenting with space more like Trisha (Brown), having more events in site specific spaces. Afterwards, I started to go to theatres and then working in some propositions this space gave me, for instance: What is a block box? What is a frontal perception of the audience?

Solo#2-Fréquences by Brice Leroux (c)


Well, in this performance 'Solo#2-Fréquences', the audience is all around and it's a little bit different. I’m trying to use what's in the theatre and what’s interesting in this situation, the audience is sitting in front of it, in the dark, there are no other stimuli and it’s a live show, it’s direct and you know that’s not an image. A human body in front of them, and that’s a specific situation that I want to work with.

In terms of space, what’s interesting for me is the space between bodies. If you are only working with trajectories, the distance between bodies and how they come close or get far from each other. In a way, what’s really visible for me is happening between space and that’s what I’m trying to work on.

OK, now we can switch to music and the importance of the sound in your work. You studied ethnomusicology and came into contact with other cultures through traditional dances ... Why did you decide to go in that direction?

BL: Traditional dances were interesting to me because you are entering the field that's not about the style, specific style that has been built by some choreographer, but was built over the years, decades, centuries.

Photo: Olivier Matterlart (c) from Quantum-Quintet by Brice Leroux


There are really coherent forms that somehow attracted me to study them and to see what style actually is? You can do the movement with it, like for instance, if you would ask a ballet dancer to do a movement or if you would ask an African dancer to do exactly the same, it’s not going to be the same thing at all. This is what interests me. What are these differences in the way of doing things? And for me, these differences are style, so researching on this was important. Body movements are not only shapes, it’s also a way of doing it.

For me that was a way to go toward the source of the pleasure of the movement. It wasn't being built by someone thinking about what movement should be, it’s just something that has been built up over the centuries, something that is very coherent within the society and just a basic pleasure of what dancing is.

Photo: Olivier Matterlart (c) from Quantum-Quintet by Brice Leroux


Yeah, I know... many people very often use these terms like, lets make now a Forsythe movement, or a Cunningham movement… what about non labeled body and movement?

BL: Yeah, I didn’t want to create my style based on taste. For me that was training, too. As a dancer, I wanted to have all these experiences. But, I don’t wanna be imprisoned with a certain style that I would have to study more then others. I wanted this range of obvious possibilities and from this point, my work is about not deciding on style.

I’ve never decided to use a movement because I think: oh this is nice, so I would do this. So, I’m building this compositional mathematics in order to avoid this. There is some sort of logic and coherence with the project rather then a decision of taste.

I guess, that’s what I’m trying to do, which is somehow opposite to traditional dances. But because it’s opposite, I was really interested in this. I needed to go through all these things to pull away from this, I guess.

Artist Daan Roosegaarde and V2_Lab are looking for two fashion designers (M/F) to contribute to the 'Intimacy' series.

'Intimacy White' (2009), the first dress in the series, is made out of smart foil that becomes transparent when electrified. The distance of a spectator to the dress determines the level of transparency. This first dress received a lot of media attention and is considered highly successful. V2_Lab and Daan Roosegaarde now intend to make a series of 'Intimacy' dresses, each playing with a different material to create a sensual play of shared control.


'Intimacy Lotus' is a new heat-sensitive material by Studio Roosegaarde, responding and physically moving to the subtlest amount of warmth. We invite one designer to create a new interactive dress with the Lotus foil.


'Intimacy Black' is the dark sister of 'Intimacy White'.


We invite one designer to create accessories with the black foil that become
transparent when electrified.


Daan Roosegaarde says: ‘Technology is used here not merely functional but also as a tool to create intimacy as well as privacy on a direct, personal level ... which in our contemporary tech society is becoming increasingly important.’


In order to take this step from one dress to a series of fashion items, V2_Lab and Daan Roosegaarde are looking for:

  • Recently graduated or senior year fashion designers (M/F);
  • He or she must be able to participate in thought process along the lines set out by V2_Lab and Studio Roosegaarde in the preliminary stages and therefore must be a good team player;
  • He or she must be ambitious and determined to achieve our request for success;
  • The project starts on 1 May 2010. It is a full-time position for a period of 8 weeks.

What we offer:

  • Access to functioning new technology, an existing prototype and an artist' Impression of the intended final product;
  • A workplace at V2_Lab;
  • The opportunity to collaborate with an experienced, interdisciplinary team;
  • Technical support and backup;
  • Exhibition of the end result;
  • Name credit.

Please send your resume/portfolio and motivation before 15 April, preferably by email, to piem@v2.nl

Since the mid-1990s, new media has become an important force
for economic and cultural development. Support institutions
including Ars Electronica, ZKM, and Eyebeam have expanded,
while interdisciplinary PhD programs at the intersections of
art, science, and technology have proliferated internationally.
Simultaneously, mainstream contemporary art experienced
dramatic growth, propelled by the proliferation of venues from
Art Basel Miami to the Shanghai Biennial, and by the creativity
of artists, curators, dealers, and pedagogues. Yet rarely do these
two art worlds meet. As a result, their discourses have increasingly
diverged. To what extent are art-science, new media art,
and mainstream contemporary art commensurable? Is it possible
to construct a hybrid discourse that offers insights into each,
while enabling greater mixing between them? What roles have
educational programs played in fostering these divides and how
can they contribute to suturing them? What insights into larger
questions of emerging art and cultural forms might be gleaned
by such a rapprochement?

Every proposal should include the following six items:
1. Completed session participation proposal form, located at the
end of this brochure.
2. Preliminary abstract of one to two double-spaced, typed
pages.
3. Letter explaining speaker’s interest, expertise in the topic, and
CAA membership status.
4. CV with home and office mailing addresses, email address,
and phone and fax numbers. Include summer address and
telephone number, if applicable.
5. Documentation of work when appropriate, especially for sessions
in which artists might discuss their own work.
6. If mailing internationally, it is recommended that proposals be
sent via certified mail.

Dance Research Electronic: Call for Papers
Special Issue:
Dance and Neuroscience - New Partnerships


Guest Editors:
Corinne Jola, Frank Pollick, and Dee Reynolds

Introduction

‘You get a sense of when the moment is right for something – and for dance,
this is that moment’ (Duncan Gray, commissioning editor of entertainment for
Sky 1). Gray’s statement is a response to the explosion of interest in dance in
the UK.
The current fascination with dance is visible in manifold ways, such as a steep
rise in the number of boys applying to ballet school, increased audience
members for TV, screen and live dance, but also in the numbers participating in
dance, from clubs to community centres. At the same time, the moment is right
for dance-neuroscience partnerships. With current technological developments,
neuroscientists are extending the boundaries of our knowledge of the human
brain. In particular, results from research using brain imaging techniques have
caught the public imagination. Neuroscientists are drawn to study dance
because, as a highly complex form of movement, it offers a fertile field to
explore mind-body processes as well as the neural basis of aesthetics. In turn,
neuroscience offers dance scholars new insights on long-standing debates
concerning mind-body relations in choreographing, performing and watching
dance.

This field has garnered widespread interest, as evidenced by recent research
and public exposure. In ‘The Dancer’s Body: A Machine that Dances’ (BBC
2, September-October 2003), former Royal Ballet prima ballerina Deborah Bull
investigated the science of dance, featuring both choreographers and brain
scientists.
Thinking in Four Dimensions: Creativity and Cognition in Contemporary
Dance
, appeared in 2005 (Grove et al. 2005). Key studies, including Calvo-Merino et al, 2005 and 2006 and Cross 2008, drew on findings about the so-called mirror neuron system to investigate the relationship between expertise in performing dance and brain activity when watching it. Their conclusions about the influence of motor expertise on brain activity when watching dance have provided a powerful catalyst to debates about kinesthetic empathy in dance spectators (Foster, 2008). Tanz im Kopf / Dance and Cognition (Birringer & Fenger) appeared in 2005. Several interdisciplinary research projects are exploring related issues, and numerous recent symposia and workshops have addressed dance/neuroscience questions. These include The Dancing Brain (Dana Foundation, London, 2003), Dance and the Brain (Frankfurt, 2004), Dance, Movement in Time and Space (with Mark Morris; Society for Neuroscience,Washington DC, 2008), The Embodied Mind (Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation,2008); Research Workshop on Dance and Cognitive Neurosciences (Experimental Psychology Society, London, 2009). Research publications in this field continue to appear (e.g. Calvo-Merino et al, 2008, deLahunta et al, 2009), and Ivar Hagendoorn and Thomas Komendzinski are currently editing a special issue of Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences on Dance and Cognitive Science (forthcoming, Fall 2010). Clearly, the dance-neuroscience duet is in the spotlight.

Topics

New partnerships require flexibility and open-mindedness. With the Special
Issue on ‘Dance and Neuroscience – New Partnerships’ we aim to provide a
platform for original research that is relevant to both fields and is presented
in accessible terms We welcome contributions which report the results of
original empirical research and/or which review and assess existing
scholarship, on condition that they throw new light on key issues and
point to innovative directions for the future. As this is an online issue, we
welcome use made by authors of illustrations, film and music clips. Topics we
wish to explore include, but are not limited to, the following:
• What insights do we gain from neuroscientific research on cognitive,
emotional, and physical experiences related to dance and how? For example:
• the multimodal sensory processing used by dancers and dance spectators;
• the reasons why people enjoy performing and watching dance;
• how dancers respond to one another in the group dynamic;
• what neural processes come into play in the act of choreographing dance;
• how choreographers communicate with their dancers, and how dancers visualise
cues and embody them kinesthetically
• What claims made by neuroscience relate to existing debates in dance studies
and how;
• What other disciplines can/should be used to expand/critique knowledge gained
through neuroscience and how? For example:
• Existing or prospective collaborations of neuroscientists and other
disciplines (e.g. cultural studies, philosophy, anthropology, sociology,
qualitative audience research, critical theory) to research this field

Outlines

Prospective contributors are invited to
send a 500-word outline by email to
Katherine.Popperwell@manchester.ac.uk
by 1 May 2010
. Abstract submissions will
be subject to blind refereeing procedures. Articles will be chosen for further
consideration by 1 June 2010 and must be submitted in draft by 1 October 2010,
and the definitive version by 30 January 2011. Texts should normally not exceed
7,000 words, including endnotes. However, while concision improves chances of
publication, serious consideration will be given to submissions where the
nature and quality of the content justify greater length. Submissions
must conform to the
Dance Research Electronic
stylesheet, which is available upon request.
Dance Research Electronic welcomes use made by authors of illustrations,
film and music clips, providing the author has secured permission to reproduce
these materials from the copyright holder. All necessary copyright permissions

From dancespace project site

After several years of experimental ensemble investigation,
award-winning choreographer Deborah Hay returns to solo
performance in response to an invitation by Juliette Mapp and Danspace
Project. In No Time To Fly, she partners with long-time
collaborator, lighting designer Jennifer Tipton, whose work has
been pivotal to Hay’s aesthetic vision over the last decade.

During her evening-length solo, Hay seeks to open the door to sustained
moments of non-linear learning for the performer and the audience alike.
“If I am to really admit and celebrate the ephemeral nature of dance,
then I must learn to see, experience, and respect time passing.”

Dança em foco: production call-for-entries

For this year’s edition, dança em foco – Festival Internacional de Vídeo Dança is launching two grant programs for videodance creation/production. The initiative was made possible because of the new sponsorship of
Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company.


“Historically, dança em foco always supported diffusion and training. Even in our partnerships, we were always concerned with screening videodance and contextualize it through
workshops, debates with local artists etc. Since 2002 we had the idea of
a grant program, but we still couldn’t make it happen. In 2007 we had a
program that awarded videos created for cell phones. This year we
managed to make both happen!”, Paulo Caldas, one of the curators,
celebrates.


The festival will award in the Vídeo1′ program videodances recorder with cell-phone cameras. The videos must be sent until April 23 and they must last up to one minute. Each creator
will be allowed to submit one project and it must have been made from
January 2009 on. Those selected will receive an award of R$ 1.000 and
will be screened at dança em foco 2010.


In the Vídeo5′ program, screenplays for a videodance production of up to 5 minutes will be selected. The projects must be sent until April 30. Those selected will receive from R$ 3.000
to R$ 6.000, according to the project’s budgets.


Both programs seek to award projects that integrate dance and video as an autonomous composition. Besides the two, Rumos Itaú is another program aimed exclusively at the research and
production of videodance. It recently screened the result of its last
edition. Given the growing interest in the videodance language, many
questions arise about what fits into this form of expression.

For Caldas, this debate will go on for a while. “Any difficulty in thinking about videodance is an unfoldment of the issues that emerge with contemporary dance. They are potentiated in the
videodance context. All the tension of experimentation in dance also
appears in videodance. In the curatorship process, I try to look for
movement principles in that piece. It could be the body, editing or
camera. This makes a connection between cinema and dance.”


The regulation is available at the festival’s website. More information may be obtained at edital@dancaemfoco.com.br.
