"Dance is the ideal go-between for electronic and real bodies'' Merce Cunningham
In the interesting times we live in, dance and image, cinema, video and perfomance art, material and virtual, actual and outer, have approached eachother more than ever suggesting the sprung of new complementary and autonomous art forms. This organic relation between dance, motion and technology, called either interactive dance, telecast dance, multimedia dance or digital dance, sets out a new arena for cross-artform experimentation with no anticipated boundaries and directives.
In an attempt to exlpore the field of live perfomance interfaced with digital technologies, Kalamata?s Dance Festival and Festival "e-phos" co-organize the special program on body, motion and technology "TRANSDANCE". Through lectures, discussions, debates and a studio workshop "TRANSDANCE" aims to
launch an organic dialogue on concepts such as live and virtual synthesis, among researchers of digital dance, designers of virtual architecture, media theorists, and transmedia artists.
