Important Message: Make dance-tech part of your Summer/Winter break!

[Marlon Barrios Solano]

Hello dance-techers,

Make dance-tech part of your summer/winter break!

This is Marlon barrios Solano, the creator and network curator.

I would like to welcome to this stage of the dance-tech project.

We are just approaching the 4th year anniversary and I believe  that we have reached a critical mass to really enjoy the potential of the collective intelligence and generosity of our international community.

Using the most advanced social software platforms and internet rich multimedia applications, dance-tech.net provides movement and new media artists, theorist, thinkers and technologists the possibility of sharing work, ideas and research, generating opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborative projects.

dance-tech.net is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on movement  arts  and collaborative creativity in our contemporary world,  its evolving embodied practices knowledge, its stories and histories.

 

 

We have developed a  digitally networked community that has spawned other collaborative initiatives, all with the  collaboration of local and global agents:

 

-All members using the network and  sharing and collaborating, creating online activities and  also face to face encounters and even festivals.

 

-Dance-tech.net  and .tv have received  a lot support from many organizations and individuals. Independent collaborations have emerged from members such as Jeannette Ginslov (Denmark), Gilles Jobin (Switzerland), DanceDigital (UK), TMA and Hellerau (Germany), Dance Films Association (USA), AIEP (Italy) and many more.

 

-We launched dance-tech.tv: a curated  internet video channel featuring complete works of experimental  choreography and innovative interdisciplinary explorations.

See Choreography or ELSE

 

-We have developed  the dance-tech@ Interviews that recently  are produced by a network of international collaborator and dance-tech.net members. More tan 200 interviews can be found in dance-tech.net

-We have an archive of more than 60  interesting and diverse academic level lectures.

 

-More than 15 international dance and new media department use dance-tech.net and .tv in their regular academic activities. Cool!

 

 

I would like to invite you to activate our critical mass for development and I will suggest ways that you can participate and collaborate beyond the obvious uses:

-Help us to increase the membership:  share the good with your friends, spread the word about programs, etc. It is free!-Increasing activity and housekeeping: USE IT!  It is a good form to leave comments, some kind of feedback…and receive it… it is actually the power  the social media: it allows the conversations. Posting is good  but expressing your opinion makes it alive. That is what makes the site. Housekeeping: you may reactivate  groups and discussions  with new questions. You can delete also delete the groups that you have created…warn your members!

The dance-tech project currently  supports:

- dance-tech.net and .tv and all the necessary  technical platforms, connectivity and equipment.- Administration and maintenance of all the digital platform.

-Management and   strategies for activation of the networks.-International strategic  partnerships.-Production of Choreography or ELSE on dance-tech.TV

-Productions of Interviews in .net and .tv-Coordination  and coproduction of dance-tech.TV LIVE-Of line activities such as a encounters and meet-ups internationally.
