Announcement
***************

Department of Dance at OSU
(in cooperation with The Wexner Center for the Arts)

announces its 

INTERACTIVE PERFORMANCE SERIES
featuring the
summer workshop
"DANCE AND INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY"
June 18 -June 30, 2001

directed by Johannes Birringer, with David Covey and
Roberta Shaw.

Guest Artists:    Interface (Curtis Bahn, Dan Trueman, Tomie Hahn)

Description:

The new digital dimensions of our dance-making processes challenge
preconceptions about performance practice and technique, and they have
not only changed the space in which we experiment, but also demand an
alternative form of collaboration among all the participants.

With the creation of the IPS (Interactive Performance Series), OSU
invites some of the practicing artists at the forefront of these
developments to the campus, creating an interface with faculty,
students, and practitioners enrolling in the workshop. The workshop
creates a laboratory for new techniques, and focuses on the
interdisciplinary process of the creation of live inter-active
performance, in order to build a wider community for new dance media.

                                        *****         *******

OSU offers a fully equipped dance-and-media lab (two studios) set up for
multimedia experimentation. Participants have to option to work with
Robbie Shaw and her digital documentation tool "danceCODES" to
creatively document the workshop process and the creation of the final
concert. This documentation process involves digital video
documentation, digital editing, image processing and discussions of
documentation modes. Those eager to learn basic multimedia skills may
find this side of the lab useful. Participants may move between working
on the documentation or the creation side of the lab.
(For info on danceCodes contact:  shaw.146@osu.edu)


The Lab is an interdisciplinary arts laboratory for dancers, performers,
musicians,  visual artists, designers, and media artists.  Based in
sound & movement research/motion studies,  the lab focuses on the role
of the performer and designer working with interactive technologies and
sensor systems.

The workshop features the ensemble  “INTERFACE” - Curtis Bahn,  Dan
Trueman, and Tomie Hahn.

These artists, distinguished by their artistic work with
music/dance/sensor interface design, will join the workshop team in the
second week and conduct experiments and rehearsals culminating in a
public performance on Saturday, June 30.
