In February of this year, we created the dance Kama Begata Nihilum, which involved a cast of seven dancers with networked iPads, as well as an AR app for the audience to extend the borders of the stage, and to augment the audience experience. We wrote custom software for the iPads, as commercial apps are usually one-dimensional and somewhat too slow for stage use, and all have one undesirable feature for display onscreen: menus! The software for the dancers allowed for interactive music making, graphics that extended across tablets, color switching, and pushing text onto them. The AR app showed extra 3D graphics behind the main stage prop/character, a giant robot-like totem with a large-screen TV in its belly that also participated in the tablets' displays.

Here, finally, is a video of that dance:  https://vimeo.com/87794341 The video shows how the audience app worked with the stage event.

And here, again, is a review of the dance. http://www.news-gazette.com/arts-entertainment/local/2014-02-16/melissa-merli-theres-app-dance.html

We are working on a paper about the making of Kama Begata Nihilum, so stay tuned for that.

Are you an artist working creatively with code and digital media with an interest in movement? Then come join Motion Bank and the team at the Deakin Motion.Lab in Melbourne, Australia for the next Choreographic Coding Lab where movement hackers and practitioners will be gathering to discuss and work on projects, ideas and challenges in a peer-to-peer setting.
 
The Choreographic Coding Lab (CCL) format offers unique opportunities of exchange and collaboration for digital media ‘code savvy’ artists who have an interest in translating aspects of choreography and dance into digital form and applying choreographic thinking to their own practice. This format supports working with patterns in movement scores and structures through finding, generating and applying them with results ranging from prototypes for artworks to new plug-ins for working with dance related datasets. The CCLs also seek to support a sustainable collaborative practice among its participants encouraging ongoing exchange in a growing artistic research community.

XTH Sense™ -- the world’s first biocreative instrument and next evolution in sensory expression -- is LIVE on Kickstarter TODAY.

The XTH Sense combines a wireless biowearable, its companion XTH Software Suite and the XTH Hub, our community platform.

Using multiple biophysical sensors, the XTH Sense captures various sounds from your body, such as muscles contracting, blood flowing, the heart beating, as well as your motion data and temperature. These sounds and data represent your expressive signature.

With the XTH Software Suite you can use your expressive signature to control musical parameters, create digital drawings, interact with game mechanics and play in virtual reality (VR). We call it biocreative interaction.

1. Locate a Great Instructor

Experienced artists know the significance of a decent move teacher. A move instructor shows new steps and methods, as well as amends errors. In the event that you are new to move, pick your teacher deliberately. On the off chance that you have been taking lessons for a short time and don't appear to be enhancing, consider glancing around for an alternate instructor. The more you move, the more you understand what qualities you favor in a move teacher.

2. Watch Other dancers

Rent a couple move motion pictures or instructional DVD's. Watch the artists nearly, taking note of such things as body arrangement, stance and strategy. Attempt to discover approaches to consolidate styles you like into your own particular moving.

3. Impeccable Your Posture

Stand up straight, push your shoulders down and back, and hold your head up. It's really astounding what great stance accomplishes for an artist.

4. Stretch

Day by day extending will make your body significantly more adaptable. A major objective in moving is to make every move look easy. The more flexible your legs are, the simpler it will be to move them. Make it a propensity to extend each day.

5. Enhance Your Technique

Proficient artists spend their whole vocations idealizing their system. Great strategy is the thing that isolates the great artists from the best artists. Learn new moves, yet endeavor to idealize the abilities of every stride.

6. Wear Proper Shoes

Every move style requires a particular sort of shoe. Move shoes are precisely organized to ensure the legs and feet and to advantage the artist. Verify that you are moving in the right sort of shoe and that the shoes are the right size.

7. Unwind

Your body will move its best in a casual state. Take a couple of full breaths and clear your psyche. Show yourself to loosen up to the music.

8. Grin

A grin is a statement of joy, satisfaction, or beguilement. On the off chance that you grin while you are moving, individuals will get the inclination that you adore what you are doing. Regardless of the possibility that you are moving alone, grin at yourself. You want to move, so give it a chance to appear!

Attention all artists, researchers, students, individuals and groups involved or interested in the creative fields and in the integration of art, science, technology and consciousness research!

This coming summer of mid August, we are happy to invite Dance-Tech members to the Masterclass in island of Kefalonia, Greece in conjunction with the local feast of the Holy Snakes of Mary.

All participants will be divided into groups to engage more with the island's geographical body, serpent mythology and ceremony. We will be soon announcing more exciting opportunities for artists involved in dance/performance as well as those who work with dance and screen-based technology.

Special opportunities for Dance-Tech members who would like to apply to the Masterclass "Networked Rites and the Quest for Moprphic Fields of Compassion" this mid-August at the Ionion Center for the Arts and Culture in the island of Kefalonia, Greece. 

This is an opportunity for dance/performance artists and involves 1 extra day free-of-charge at the center, including a presentation of their work (i.e., performance, video, etc.) at the center’s fully equipped theater or exhibition space which otherwise would cost Euro 800 (not inclusive of VAT) per use.

There may be an opportunity to perform on location at the island as mid August is a week of celebrations in the island. However, this will be further probed by the center's management who will announce the event and invite locals and tourists.

In addition, we are offering the Masterclass to Dance-Tech members including full housing accommodation for 5 or 6 days (extra day for artists who will perform/present) plus extra arrival day and 2 meals (one hot meal, meat or vegetarian) a day for Euro 407.

Deadline: 31 July 2015

Ask for advice from the instructor. If you really work to improve the assessment, but do not see any progress, try to talk to your teacher. Make an appointment after school or during recess and the teacher explain the problem: you're trying to improve the assessment, and many do write the lectures, but this came to nothing lead. The teacher will help you find your weak areas and give advice on how to overcome this problem.

Look for online tools. These tools will help you to understand the studied material. You can simply join online communities (groups), studying the material that you do not understand, or you can open Web sites specifically designed to help students (students). But remember that you're not just looking for an answer (to copy), and want to understand the material, to gain knowledge and improve the assessment. Here are some useful sites:

http://dissertationdesc.com/

http://paperial.com/

http://britishessaywriters.com/

Ask about additional work. If you persevere and demonstrate that you really changed your approach to learning, ask the teacher to give you an extra job, or even a special project (such as coursework). This will help you fix a bad score, obtained by you earlier.
Be sure to explain to the teacher that you come to the training very seriously. Many teachers do not like to give out additional tasks (and to put additional value), but he / she is likely to sympathize with you, if you realize that you really wish to improve your score and get knowledge.

Hire a tutor. If you find it hard to study, hire a tutor (ask your teacher for advice about where you can find the tutor). Tutor - is not an admission that you are given by study and learning tool, like textbooks. Any student that does not understand, so arm yourself with all available tools to overcome this obstacle.

Study the material in groups. When you study a subject together with other people, you are joining forces to better understand it. You can check notes and discussing the material studied, which could result in better learning. But remember, working with other people, to spread to the full; otherwise, no one wants to deal with you.

Immerse yourself in context. If you transfer training in virtual reality or dive into the context to visualize the material under study, it will help you better learn the subject. Find a way to study the subject in view of reality (or virtual world), and you get the opportunity to study the subject quite differently.
For example, seeing the real thing in the historical museum, you better grasp of history. Or, instead of reading about physics experiments, perform them in reality.
