The object of the event is to introduce dance artists to new technologies that can be adapted and re-contextualized for use in the creation and performance of dance, and, simultaneously, to introduce digital artists and technologists to the world of dance. There are also a limited number of spaces for other specialists in performance to share their skills and give a lateral viewpoint.

We will be making available a range of technologies and introducing and initiating some exciting new developments in the field of dance/technology.

Available tech: IR blob tracking, Kinect, MYO, LEAP Motion & Isadora, plus more to be confirmed.

The participants will work in teams to create movement sketches that are inspired by the innovative use of technology and these will be shared in a public event in the afternoon of 26th August.

Places are free, and we can offer accommodation for up to four participants. Capacity is limited.
