The following message was posted to: dance-tech greetings, [quote]those of us who want to incorporate new technologies into primarily dance-based works, and those who are interested in pursuing new forms, regardless of what the resulting mix of media will be. [/quote] just for information I consider myself as the former. with a goal of integration and embodiment of new technologies in dance practice. [quote] they are a bunch of components that can be assemble very differently into an interface substrate or come in packages for you to use [/quote] [quote] I don't use any of the tools that you cited in your list [quote] I was giving example rather than a mutually exclusive list. you may re-invent approach but do you use the same basic tools i.e. sensors, sensor technologies / interfaces (even if you create new ones for each work)?. it is the technology approach I was referring to and a technological typology [ Isabel / Scott ]. however I recognise the value of multiple systems of classification. [quote] As a dance critic I try to be careful about using language from a specific discipline when I'm not writing for practitioners of that work. You're absolutely correct when you say that "tension, momentum, and flow" have defined meanings in Labananalysis, but they have other meanings in general English. I use my Laban training every day when I watch movement, but when I write about it I frequently have to "translate" from the analytic language. [/quote] regardless of perspective this is important too, how do we describe our work to the wider arts and public, not only in terms of practice but also performance. i didn't get to see ataXia, has any one anything to say about this sci/art collaboration? there has been much in the press (see links) but what did you think? [quote] ataXia draws influences from such diverse worlds as neuroscience, composition, psychology, virtual design, spatial architecture and computer programming. Generating a fresh and radical look at human physicality, AtaXia explores dislocation and loss of control while using the complex technology that has become the hallmark of Random Dance [/quote] [http://forum.criticaldance.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=002610] [http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,6903,1232222,00.html] [http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/reviews/story/0,11712,1231353,00.html] [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-376-1125523,00.html] [http://www.portal.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2004/06/10/btib10.xml&sSheet=/arts/2004/06/10/ixartright.html] [http://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/review.php?sid=2498] [http://www.ballet.co.uk/magazines/yr_04/jul04/lh_rev_random_0604.htm] matt ---------------------------------------- The Dance-Tech mailing list has recently moved to a new address.
