Andrea Davidson (Le Centre des Arts d'Enghien-les-Bains /Chichester University):
"Corps Sonore:  Toward Immersive Performance Environments"


Andrea Davidson is currently writing a book entitled Digital Perspectives in Dance: Portraits of Choreographers, a collection of monographies on international choreographers working with new media. In this conference, she will present the work of Quebec choreographer Isabelle Choini re, one of the rare choreographers to have worked exclusively with new technologies since the beginning of her career and sporting a reputation as a pioneer of "cyber-modernity". Examining new choreographic models developed by the choreographer as she seeks to free dancers from an instrumentalisation by technology, Dr. Davidson will analyze Choini re's particular interpretation and staging of the virtual body as Òle corps sonoreÓ, a collective body of sound produced interactively that proposes a "new understanding of organicity and a broader conception of the body" while creating an immersive performance environment through an experience of syneasthesia.

Dr. Andrea Davidson is a Senior Lecturer in New Media and Performance Practices at the University of Chichester and a practicing video and multimedia artist. Following a career as soloist and principal dancer of the National Ballet of Canada, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Ballet Manhattan, Desrosiers Dance Theatre and Entre-Six, she went on to author, produce and interpret her own choreography in Canada before moving to Paris where she completed a PhD in interactive studies from the Universite Paris 8 Her creative work in video and multimedia, including La morsure, a pioneer digital interactive choreography for CD-ROM and installation, has been presented in numerous international art centres, festivals, conferences and exhibitions as well as having received the Prix de l'ƒcriture MultimŽdia de la Fondation Beaumarchais (1997); a special mention from the jury of the Festival Napolidanza "Il Coreografo Elettronico" (2000); and the Grand Prix International Videodanse section New Media from UNESCO (2002). In 2006, she wrote the book Bains Numeriques #1 : Danse et nouvelles technologies, a commission of the Centre des Arts d'Enghien-les-Bains.
