Fri 25th - Sat 26th Oct
During Dance Umbrella '95 five teams of British choreographers - Mark Baldwin, Sue MacLennan, Yael Flexer, Susan Kozel and Susan Crow - and digital artists pioneered the creation and production of Digital Dancing, during a week of intense collaboration initiated and produced by Terry Braun of Illuminations Interactive.
All of the teams have continued to explore the potential of new technology and dance - and all have produced new work. Digital dancing offers a showcase for this work and an arena to debate the implications of this new form. Over two days digital artists and choreographers will be developing and showing recent projects and discussing future developments in dance and new technology. Some of the work will exist only in computers, played on CD-ROM or shared on the Internet. Other pieces wil be more theatrical, fusing digital animation and live performance.
Illuminations will use its web site to offer a virtual showcase as well as a digital forum for this new work.
Each of these five sessions offers a chance to see a presentation of recent projects, take part in a Q&A session and get hands-on experience with new technology.
