<x-flowed>================================ = Troika Ranch Summer Workshop = ================================ New York City -- June 11-16, 2001 Application Deadline: April 16th, 2001 New York City based dance theater company Troika Ranch will present its Live-Interactive (Live-I) Workshop, an intensive seminar for artists and advanced students who want to explore the use of interactive computer technology in the creation and performance of dance, theater, and related live artworks. The workshop will take place from June 11-16, 2001 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, one subway stop from Manhattan. Cost of the workshop is $400. Led by composer/programmer Mark Coniglio and choreographer Dawn Stoppiello, Artistic Co-Directors of Troika Ranch, the workshop gives the participants the opportunity to experiment with technological tools that allow their gestures and vocalizations to interactively control video, sound, light and other computer controllable media. Participants will be given an introduction to the available technological tools and the techniques required to use them as they create short studies over the course of the workshop. This work will be complimented by critical discussions regarding how the use of media and technology shapes the form and content of the artwork. To help participants continue their explorations after the workshop has ended, each will be given a copy of Conniglio's new interactive performance software Isadora. This video/audio/midi processing software for Mac and PC will be one of the core software tools used by the students in the workshop. Registration for the Live-I Workshop is limited. Only twelve participants can be accepted for the week long session.
