meta-academy@Bates 2013 presents:
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
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.

How it works:
- EMBODIED ACTIVITY Each week, on-line participants focus on something that Nancy is teaching in her course at the Bates Dance Festival. For example, Nancy Stark Smith or the lab facilitators might share a score for solo movement or a compositional exercise through video or text directions. Lab participants will try the exercise at the beginning of each week.
- ONLINE CREATIVITY Each week, the lab facilitators will suggest online creative activities for the lab participants related to the embodied activity. These might include: blogging, micro-blogging, video mashups, screendances, online editing, collaborative writing and editing, collaborative curation of images and videos, playlist essays, mind and conceptual mapping, collaborative word cloud. All participants will be credited as collaborators.All material produced in this lab is available for remixing and mashup and it is delivered with a Creative Commons Licenses.
- GUEST LECTURES/LIVE CHAT Each week, lab participants will meet in a Google+ hangout to hear a short lecture by a guest expert on a topic such as body politics/theory, composition, or training. All lab participants, Nancy Stark Smith, and the expert will then discuss the topicand debrief about the week’s activities. Guest lectures are listed below. Hangout times will be announced soon. The video from this encounter will be archived and made available and become part of the creative assets of the projects.
- RESOURCE POOL Supplemental resources such as readings, images, and videos will be made

WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE
This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.
We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.
This network is maintained and administrated by Marlon Barrios Solano as an independent art/curatorial/social innovation project.
