Re: Dance, multimedia technologies and internetHi Lisa,

I would like to know more about your work. I think it will be helpfull for the research.

I'll try to be more specific about my work but as it is in the beggining certainly it will have some changes in the future. It is directed to the to the study of web based multimedia interactivity for dance. To start that I am selecting and analising related web sites. One of the steps I consider important to do that is to understand how some different developments are now together in an integrated field as computing (hardware, software, communications) and dance (focusing music, body work, choreography).

That's why I am looking for historical information about dance on the web and to be more specific web based multimedia. I think this kind of experiments have began only a few years ago so it is quite logical to have some difficulties to find information.

All the best
Guilherme

  Guilhereme,


  I've done several collaborative dance projects that were mediated through web-based technologies


  In the area of teaching and learning:


  1.  Dancing in Cyberspace: Creating with the Virtual Body (in collaboration with        Iris Garland)
  2.  Dance Traces (dance and architecture students)
  2.  Reconstructing the Work of Hanya Holm


  ...and performance works that were developed through collaborative storyboarding on the web:


  Janus/Ghost Stories
  inVitrio
  Split
  Portal


  My dissertation discusses this issue. The title is "Collaborative Choreography Using Lifeforms and Internet Communication".  It's not published yet but I can send you more information if necessary about the advantages and disadvantages, depending on what your goals are. 


  I recommend doing a search for computer-mediated communication and arts.  


  Best,
  Lisa






    Guilherme,

            Welcome to the field. There is a good reason you are finding it
    difficult to find what you need: it doesn't exist in any kind of coherent
    fashion (that I have ever heard of). Sounds like a dissertation to me. Good
    luck. Kent
