Apps4festivals is conceived as a sustainable model for development of mobile apps for art festivals and cultural events.
A mobile app was developed for ImPulsTanz 2014- 2015 (Vienna, Austria) and Tanz Im August 2014-2015 (Berlin, Germany) with features specially geared to facilitate an effective event guide, audience engagement and community interaction around the festival activities.
The app is customizable to showcase the events with rich multimedia features, adaptive event branding, personalized events calendars, interactive geolocated maps, push notification, content management system, comprehensive stats and in app social networking spaces.The app connects with main social media platforms.
The support from ImPulstanz Festival 2014/15 and Tanz Im August 2014/15 have been crucial for the research and development of the scaffolding, framework and suitable design for complex events that combine performances, workshops, master classes and spacial formats.
After these two prototypes, the app is available to other events for further usage and development for a sustainable fee to cover the specific customizations and content management for the new event.
The dance-tech apps4estivals is a project conceived by Marlon Barrios Solano.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
DanceDigital is pleased to announce a new artist development scheme that will be run in partnership with the University of Bedfordshire.
DanceDigital is currently looking to work with a cohort of artists in the development of a festival that will be presented in partnership with the University of Bedfordshire in April 2014. DanceDigital will recruit new Associate Artists and new Catalyst Artists, who will be given opportunity to develop new work through a support scheme that includes mentoring by DanceDigital Artistic Fellows, space in kind, a cash contribution and presentation in an international festival event, which marks culmination of the scheme.
Digital technologies have created new, and now accepted, modes of production and have repositioned dance performance as a multi-sited, digitally mediated art form. Investigation of our current theme, Mobilities offers opportunity to consider how digital technologies transform experiences of the mobile in new choreographies that may be located on stage, online or on the ground. We are interested in the distinct performance vocabularies and innovative modes of participation that are enabled by digitally embedded choreographic processes. We are also interested in the mobility of collaborations across disciplines that bring together the expertise, vision and innovation of artists, technologists, scientists and users in the creation of new art works.
If you are interested in developing work that moves audiences in new ways and creates touching human experiences by harnessing choreographic practice and digital innovation, then we would like to hear from you. We are particularly interested in proposals that address the interactivity of performers/audience and technology, and from those who are interested in developing new high quality performance work through interactive methods.

DESCRIPTIONS
Wednesday October 13th: Fiona Templeton, Brunel University
Speaking for Performance
I will introduce a method I use in the last few years to generate text
without writing, described in my article ‘Speaking for Performance’ in
Sensualities/Technologies, and used particularly in my work The Medead.
I’ll also talk about voice, not only physiologically and musically but
about the notion of voice in the sense of authorial position/ persona in
performance / inhabitation / ventriloquism. This relates to my current
work in progress, and also to another very brief article/note about the
work I directed last June by Leslie Scalapino. That article, entitled
'Acting Brackets' is about directing decisions about the non-lexical
aspects of the text to reflect Scalapino’s and my own interest in the
above notions.
Fiona Templeton is currently director of New York based The
Relationship, an international performance group, and was a founder of
The Theatre of Mistakes in the 70s. Her work ranges across theatre,
poetry and installation, and she has won awards and published 12 books
in several disciplines. Her You-The City (1988) was a pioneering work
in the genre of the site-specific performance journey. Recent
productions include the 6-part performance epic The Medead, and L’Ile, a
recreation of the dreams of the people of Lille in the places dreamt
of.
Wednesday October 27th Johannes Birringer, Brunel University
‘Dispositif: Performance Repositions’
In this speculative lecture, Birringer seeks to develop methodological
frameworks for grappling with the daunting challenges that underlie a
sociological or pragmatist/materialist analysis of contemporary
"interfacial installations." After introducing the notion of the
"performative dispositif" (extending studies of cinematic and
scenographic arrangements), questions will address the material
processes in installations and what it might mean to advance knowledge
or explore sensory perception. How do performer-participants assess or
value attributes or affordances of "technical beings," of programmed
responsive environments or hybrid media spaces which behave with and
towards the visitor-participant – as if becoming living, moving, animate
matter, changing their vitality and displaying a range of symptoms in
their materiality (motion, agency, autonomy, protocol behavior, and
ritual aspect, etc.). With this research, Birringer proposes to place
more attention on how a particular dispositif enables the interface
relations technically while observing how human performers respond to
responsive environments or experience its sensate articulations.
Johannes Birringer is a choreographer and media artist. As artistic director of the Houston-based AlienNation Co.(www.aliennationcompany.com),
he has created numerous dance-theatre works, video installations and
digital projects in collaboration with artists in Europe, the Americas,
China, Japan and Australia. His digital oratorio Corpo, Carne e Espírito
premiered in Brasil at the FIT Theatre Festival in 2008; the
interactive dancework Suna no Onna was featured at Laban Centre and
Watermans, London. The mixed reality installation UKIYO toured Eastern
Europe in June 2010. He is founder of Interaktionslabor Göttelborn in
Germany (http://interaktionslabor.de)
and director of DAP-Lab at Brunel University, West London, where he is a
Professor of Performance Technologies in the School of Arts. His new
book, Performance, Technology and Science, was released by PAJ
Publications in 2009.
Wednesday November 3 Misha Myers, University of Falmouth
Is that a pistol in your pocket...?’:
Corral Consciousness and the Performance of Enclosure and Concealment
This presentation stages a performative ‘fictocritical’ dialogue with
Jimmie Durham on the strategies employed in his work to intervene in the
rituals of concealment and erasure which founded and continue founding
the unique brand of empire made in the political and ideological
narratives of the US.
This dialogue engages with Durham’s performance/installation works,
writings on cowboys, and his curation of the American West (2005) at
Compton Verney, UK, and his work Building a Nation (2006) at Matt’s
Gallery, London, through the persona, performance texts, lyrics, stage
directions and images of my own performance practice, including Yodel
Rodeo and Lonesome Long Gone and the installation/outpost Buffalo Sue’s
Wild West (2004), which were commissioned and performed as part of
Spacex Gallery and Relational’s Homeland exhibition in Exeter, UK. As a
method of researching Durham’s strategies of interruption, I staged a
re-enactment of a moment of Building a Nation for a Performance
Re-enactment Society (PRS) photo shoot. It is a kind of research that I
do through the doing of a thing. This involved a process of finding out
what something was, is or what it can become through a dynamic and
discursive relationship with ‘second hand’ memories, photographs, and
other relics of a performance archive.
Originally, from Mississippi, Dr. Misha Myers is a live artist and
Senior Lecturer in Theatre at University College Falmouth-incorporating
Dartington College of Arts. She creates socially engaged, dialogic and
participatory events that invite participants to reflect on and
articulate their experience of particular places and landscapes through
various spatial practices and performance mechanisms involving walking,
singing, moving and writing. Documentation and digital artworks from her
walk works way from home and Take me to a place, co-created with
refugees and asylum seekers and refugee support organisations in cities
across the UK, are online at www.homingplace.org.
Her recent work has been shown at Spacex Gallery’s public art
exhibition ‘Homelands’, in the Millais Gallery’s ‘Art in the Age of
Terrorism’ exhibition, and as part of Art Surgery and Newlyn Art
Gallery’s ‘Tract’, a programme of site-specific and live art. She has
published articles on her work and that of others in various journals,
including Visual Studies, Performance Research Journal, Leonardo
Electronic Almanac, Performance Paradigm, The International Journal of
Arts and Society, Research in Drama Education and in the book Art in the
Age of Terrorism.

'Fighting in Built-Up Areas': staging The Persians with the British Army
This seminar will reflect upon matters of archaeology, landscape and
site-specificity theory and practice in relation to the production of
Aeschylus's The Persians that Mike Pearson directed in August for the
newly-founded National Theatre Wales.
Mike Pearson studied archaeology in University College, Cardiff
(1968–71). He was a member of R.A.T. Theatre (1972–3) and an artistic
director of Cardiff Laboratory Theatre (1973–80) and Brith Gof
(1981–97). He continues to make performance as a solo artist and in
collaboration with artist/designer Mike Brookes as Pearson/Brookes
(1997–present). In August 2010 he directed a site-specific production of
Aeschylus’s The Persians for National Theatre Wales on the military
training ranges in mid-Wales. He is co-author with Michael Shanks of
Theatre/Archaeology (2001) and author of In Comes I: Performance, Memory
and Landscape (2006) and Site-Specific Performance (2010). The
monograph: All that remains: an imperfect archaeology of the Mickery
Theatre, Amsterdam is forthcoming in 2010. He is currently Professor of
Performance Studies, Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies,
Aberystwyth University.

Ruth Cathlow’s definition of the artist role in her book Artists Re:thinking the Blockchain:
“Artists are good in mediating abstractions for our perceptions through play, open exploration and supposition. They can tolerate, even relish, extended encounters with difference, contradiction, muddle and slippage between symbolic and material possibilities without rushing to usefulness or simplicity. They have a kitbag of methods and processes for revealing the practical affordances and animal spirit of a subject, medium or technology. They know that a way to get to know something that does’n yet exist is to collaborate with its possibilities and to do something/anything with it or about it. And by doing so, they materialize and shape what it will be, allowing many other people to access, approach and reach out to it with different parts of themselves:”

MINDED MOTION
an online lab exploring embodiment and co-creation on the internet using Nancy Stark Smith’s Underscore and other moving ideas.
Facilitated by Marlon Barrios Solano and Rachel Boggia
Photo by Raisa Kyllikki Karjalainen
How can embodied knowledge be shared and deepened through the internet? What unique forms of collaborative learning and creative activity might the internet offer?
MINDED MOTION, a 3 week pilot program for meta-academy.org, is a collaborative co-learning lab that will address these questions. Lab participants will use free internet-based tools to creatively explore questions about embodiment, training and memory, composition, and politics of the body. They will also explore how to translate embodied practices onto the internet. The lab will be structured around Nancy Stark Smith’s Underscore, an approach improvisational dance/movement that she has been developing for over 30 years, which she will be teaching at Bates Dance Festival July 22-August 10 2013.
Screenshot from video interview An Emergent Undersore on dance-tech.tv

Meta-academy invites you to engage online with three international dance festivals this summer- Taking Place (July 1-13 in Columbus, OH, USA), Impulstanz (July 21 -August 18 in Vienna, Austria), and Bates Dance Festival (July 21-August 11 in Lewiston, ME, USA). We will also be participating in IDOCDE international symposium on contemporary dance education (August 1-3 in Vienna Austria)
Dance festivals create intimate, hyperlocal communities where dancers exchange creative processes, pedagogies, finished work, and ideas. Now Meta-academy connects these communities to each other, and opens them to YOU at HOME or on the road.
choreographic knowledge, creative process, methodologies, ideas, influences, relevance, trends...stories
Starting with artists from Taking Place: K.J. Holmes (NYC), Peter Kyle (NYC), CoCo Loupe (Baton Rouge),Bebe Miller (Columbus), and Claire Porter (NYC)

teach me (not)!
01 - 03 August 2014
IDOCDE (International Documentation of Contemporary Dance Education) organises the 2nd IDOCDE SYMPOSIUM on contemporary dance and its teaching methods at the ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival 2014.
teach me (not)!
There are many ways information is being relayed in contemporary dance education settings. Questions around the roles of the dance teacher, the learner and the material arise once opening the thoughts towards this process.
Themed „teach me (not)!“, the 2nd IDOCDE Symposium thus aims to investigate horizontal - or non-hierarchical - learning, use of language and current practices in contemporary dance education and related fields and to look further into the question: How do we teach?
The symposium welcomes everyone interested in contemporary dance and related fields and invites to share teaching practices, questions & ideas around the current teaching of the art form.
It’s free and open. All you need is an internet connection and a few hours per week. You determine your level of involvement.
Facilitated by Marlon Barrios Solano, Rachel Boggia and Josephine Dorado.
Here’s what we’ll do:
1. Share creative and critical perspectives. Select choreographers, improvisors, theorists, and pedagogues from the festivals will upload videos of their process, engage in interviews, and participate in google+ hangouts with other artists and members of the Meta-academy community (the first 5 to join the hangout).
2. Move together online. Join a google+ hangout and experiment with dance professionals as they try translating their creative practices to the online space.
3. Create internet-specific work. You’ll be instructed on using some of the best online (free) creative tools to create your own internet-based videos, word clouds, mashups, and more.
4. Join a global community of dancers. When you’re making, talking and learning together, chances are you’ll make friends.
Here’s how you join.
Create a user profile on www.dance-tech.net and join the meta-academy group

You’ll get an email with further instructions on how to join our google+ circle so that you can participate in hangouts. You will need to have a Google Plus account.

MEDEA Talks presents: “Social Choreographies”
Friday, October 29 15:00-17:00
Place: MEDEA, Ö Varvsg. 11 A
Limited availability, sign up using the form below
Susan Kozel’s Medea talk will be about dance and social media. “Social Choreographies” is a research initiative but is also a way of looking at the urban world: seeing how we already ‘dance’ with our technologies and how, if we feel like it, can enhance the embodied quality of our mobile lives. She will talk about the IntuiTweet project that uses Twitter to access and exchange movement intuition. Can a social networking platform also be a way to enhance the performance of every day lives? Do Social Choreographies result? She will also talk about a few earlier projects that integrated bodies with sensing technologies.
Moderator: Tanja Mangalanayagam, Project Manager at Skånes Dansteater

Production : Opéra national de Paris / Telmondis
In response to a documentary commission on the Opéra de Paris, Jérôme Bel designed a solo show based on dancer Véronique Doisneau. Doisneau is a «sujet» of the Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris on the verge of retirement. On stage, in short minimalist sequences, she evokes her life inside and outside of the ballet and explains and dances memorable moments of her career. The film, which developed out of this show, insists on the poetry and quality of her movements, definitively defining Véronique Doisneau as (a) character.
Student of the Centre national de danse contemporaine d'Angers from 1984 to 1985, Jérôme Bel danced in France and Italy before becoming Philippe Decouflé's assistant for the ceremonies of the XVIth Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, in 1992. From Nom donné par l'auteur, his first piece in 1994, and The show must go on in 2001, up until the more recent Pichet Klunchun & myself in 2005, Jérôme Bel has been working internationally and shares his time between Paris and Rio de Janeiro. His creation, Véronique Doisneau, opened the season of the Ballet de l'Opéra national de Paris in 2004. The film based on the show was directed with cinematographer Pierre Please, write your responses as comments here.
The half-hour documentary follows the creative efforts of company members over a two year period as they struggle with the extreme physical and emotional demands of creating an experimental new work.
