hhmmmm.. hi sarah im new to the area in trms of practising, but have many thoughts on the issue... Here in Australia, my research at UniSa has shown there are fewer performance artist dealing with arts and technology then there are of the visual/fine arts. Not only can dance offer a more physical and gestural approch to producing electronic music or art 9moving imagery), but simply the general public can be used to the artists advantage in triggering of music parameters at their own pleasure no differently to a professional dancer. This is a thing im currently working on with a series of experimental workshops here in Adelaide, South Australia. Perhaps I can get back to later about this...as its a subject I wont pass down for anything (im passionate about changing the way we think about music and art, as it should be more interactive than a stupid dj trying to play music to some stupid vj's visuals ete...) regards kristian thomas website: http://kristianthomas.jumptunes.com ph/fax: 61 8363 6563 slowmail: 65 first ave st peters 5069 South Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: SARAH D SEELY <SSEELY@prodigy.net> To: <dance-tech@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu> Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2000 10:51 AM Subject: asking for your imput > > I am a graduate student in dance at Smith College in Northampton, Mass.
