I will hook into The Art Collider during my next piece: December 11 @ UCB
This is a street game that I collaborated in organizing.
Check out this 10 minute compilation video of my 2008 piece, "the blank." This video will be shown at Laura Cull's book launch this coming week. The book is a collection, "Deleuze and Performance" and looks incredibly interesting.
Everyone should check out -empyre- on "Critical Movement Practice" this month. Guests include Stamatia Portanova, Johannes Birringer, Laura Cull, Sarah Drury, Erin Manning, Nora Zuniga Shaw, Stelarc and myself. Click here to join in the discussion...

- FULL NAME
- Ashley Ferro-Murray
- Do you want this account to represent:
- individual human (me)
- If you are an organization, what kind of organization?
- University
- Website:

- About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..:
- I'm a student in the MA/PhD in Performance Studies program at UC Berkeley. A recent graduate of Cornell I'm continuing to work on my own inquisitive and interdisciplinary new media choreographies as I also delve into the realm of theorizing my art with a mixture of practice, research and writing.
- Where are you based?(city and Country)
- Somewhere in, around, over, under and between Ithaca, NY and Berkeley, CA.
- Languages that you would use in this network besides English:
- French
- Areas of interest on performance and new media
- I'm interested in contemporary dance and interactive new media. I work with MAX/MSP and Jitter to facilitate interactions between dancers who wear sensors, live video feeds, dance forms data and video and sound output. I've worked with live video feed and accelerometer sensors, but I'm hoping to move in the direction of working in live motion capture labs as well as with proximity sensors. My aesthetic stems from a balletic historical consciousness, but dives in the direction of deconstruction, social commentary and movement perpetuated energy.
- How did you learn about dance-tech.net?
- culturebot and word of mouth!
- Environments and applications that you use the most for your projects
- maxmspjitter, Final Cut ( or any other video editing), camera work, dance forms, Second Life, Protools (other sound editing software), arduino (DYS sensor systems)

CNMAT Summer Workshops in Berkeley
I am thrilled to take some workshops with the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies at Berkeley summer. I have been wanting to play with an Arduino Lilypad for some time now and can't wait to get started!
I am curious if anyone knows of some good choreographies that engage this technology?
It seems like projects that work with these and similar technologies are often more focused on musical production. This is particularly clear in the fact that N… Continue

William Kentridge
I've been looking at William Kentridge's work a lot lately and had the opportunity to see an exhibit of his work at SFMoma yesterday. I was blown away by how intricately he treads the line between over stimulation and a delicate and subtle emotionality. His multi-media oeuvre also tends to include a great deal of choreography. Although the exhibition blurb coined Kentridge as someone who looks at painting, drawing, film etc, they didn't notice the implicit gesture toward choreography that accomp… Continue

Ashley A. Friend said… - Hello,
Thanks for the comment. Your work sounds great. Where were you when you met the S? I am also a east/west coast kind of girl, I am truly recognizing that I can't stay in one place for too long, it's good to have options. I am now on vacation on the central coast, then I continue this cross-continental experimental performance/rehearsal process of ID. What a year. How's Berkeley for studying performance?

We look forward to meeting you. Very curious to know more about what you do. Sorry our website is not more informative but it is in process of being updated. Is any of your work online?
If there is anything we can do to help in what I am assuming is your move to Berkeley just let me know.
Take care,
Sheldon
