Activity 1: Introduce yourself in questions, keywords and media objects…

[Rachel Boggia]

 

Welcome to meta-academy@HZT-Bates 2015: The Pattern that Connects!

In this lab, you will be collaborating closely with other participants to explore the ways that digital online tools can connect, perform, register, aggregate, map and visualize the knowledge articulated in your choreographic research. We will be responding to your particular practices and expertise as we build the course.   Let’s get to know one another well so that together, we can create an optimal network of ideas, media,tools, and practices.  What connects us?

Activity 1: Introduce yourself in questions, keywords and media objects…

Please complete by: Thursday September 3.  23:59 GMT.
Length of time you will need to complete the activity: at least 1 hour
Format: discussion thread

There are three steps to this activity. Please approach them playfully and honestly.

1. Reply to each of the questions we have posted in this discussion forum.  Here they are together:

• What are the questions that you are asking in your creative research?

• What are the connections that you see between choreography and networked spaces?

  • “Put simply the term networked space‘ accounts for all sites both physical and digital in which interactions occur. Its use highlights the need for social interactions to be contextualized holistically. A networked space is a site of converged narratives. “  -Jenny Kenedy http://www.academia.edu/487450/Conceptualizing_Social_Interactions_in_Networked_Spaces

• What was the last surprising/satisfying connection you made? (a very open-ended question)

2. Reply to each of the posts you made in step 1. In your replies, please do both of the following:

a. Cook down each question into keywords/tags.  These are single words that can serves as categories or labels for your question. Create as many as you can, try for at least 15 per question. Post them as a response to the  question they came from.  

b. Find media- images, videos, audio--or other links that relate to the question.  They can be your own images or ones you find in a search that Illustrate, expand, connect, juxtapose, explode, repeat, etc the question. In any event, choose media that really connect to something about your own practice. Post them as a response to the question they relate to.
You can choose to post links, to upload attachments, or to embed videos in the discussion.

TIP: To embed a video from youtube or vimeo, find it on youtube or vimeo and at the bottom of the video you will see a SHARE button, click the SHARE button, then choose EMBED.  You will see some code.  Copy and paste the code into your post and be sure that you use the HTML editor option.

3. Reply to someone else's post in any way that makes sense to you (using prose, tags, or media).

 

Have fun!

what are the questions that you are asking in your creative research?

what are our experiences of gender as an individual and as a society? how can we expand our notions of gender or imagine a completely different way of interacting; through the genre of sci-fi? 

gender, feminism, sexuality, power relations; between people/gender/performers and spectators, what is (desired) progress?, technology, can we predict/create the future now?, sci-fi, cyborg, dystopia/utopia

 What are the connections that you see between choreography and networked spaces?

If gender is performed, then all spaces physical and digital become an arena in which to interact and present/re-present/alter yourself or an image of your self.

gender, performance, physical-body, digital-image, (sexuality), present/re-present/alter, parallel/multiple realities, inner to outer, private to public, technology, simulation, image

CYBERFEMINIST MANIFESTO FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

We are the modern cunt
positive anti reason 
unbounded unleashed unforgiving 

we see art with our cunt we make art with our cunt
we believe in jouissance madness holiness and poetry
we are the virus of the new world disorder 

rupturing the symbolic from within
saboteurs of big daddy mainframe
the clitoris is a direct line to the matrix 
VNS MATRIX

terminators of the moral codes
mercenaries of slime
go down on the altar of abjection
probing the visceral temple we speak in tongues

infiltrating disrupting disseminating
corrupting the discourse 
we are the future cunt

Manifesto first declared by VNS Matrix 
1991, Adelaide & Sydney, Australia

 What was the last surprising/satisfying connection you made?

I met a dancer/choreographer today in Helsinki that is very active in the scene here and apart of an all female collective. We are very much interested in the same topics, content-wise including analysing gender energies and interactions. As well as form of performance; including drag, musical and contemporary meets pop culture.
