For those of you new to the dance-tech list there was a two part 
article about Barriedale's ChoreoGraph project posted to the list on 
14/05/02 -- you can find it by going to the list archive -- 
http://art.net/~dtz/mailarchive.html // search by date.

The issue of funding for software development in the dance/ live 
performance field is an interesting one. In Monaco 2000, several 
dance/ tech scripters and programmers got together to discuss 
strategies for this. Although now two years old, the Monaco 
discussion still serves as a useful introduction on a range of themes 
related to this issue: creative, technical, institutional, economic. 
The transcript has been sitting around for a while, but has finally 
been edited (for corrections); but should be on line sometime soon... 
so stay tuned.

all the best
