COAST-TO-COAST INTERNET 2 PERFORMANCE EVENT Thursday, Nov. 21, 5-6:30 pm University of California, Irvine Motion Capture Studio Admission is free. Information: (949) 824-4259 University of California, Irvine dancers and musicians will participate in a multimedia Internet 2 collaboration with New York University, titled Voyage of Aeneas: FIXED/NOT on Thursday, Nov. 21, 5-6 pm (PST) / 8-9 pm (EST) in the UCI Motion Capture Studio. This production is the result of continuing research by Lisa Naugle, UCI assistant professor of dance and technology, in the field of telematic dance, which is the distribution of choreography over various geographical locations using the Internet and other networked systems. Naugle has been exploring the creative and technical potential of telematic dance since 1996 and sees it as a new research paradigm for the production, dissemination and recording of computer-based techniques and cross-cultural exchange of dance and media. "Voyage of Aeneas: FIXED/NOT" explores a dialogue of music, choreography, improvisation and abstract sound scapes. In this performance, UCI will send video of dances choreographed by Naugle to New York. Seven graduate students from the Dance Department were selected to work with Naugle on the development of these works. In addition, composers Norman Beede, Fred Bevilaqua, Jeff Ridenour and Cuca Estevas, and actress Alexia Bevilaqua were invited to collaborate on the project. Three of the music works involve motion-tracking systems where dancers will influence the playback of sound and text. At New York University, faculty, staff and students from Music Technology, Dance and the Courant Institute of Mathematics have been working on complementary themes toward the creation of music and dance improvisation scores. Each location will send and receive DVD quality audio and video over Internet 2 connections, allowing for real-time music and dance interactions between the sites. -- ===================================== Dr. Lisa Naugle Dance and Technology University of California, Irvine Claire Trevor School of the Arts, Department of Dance MAB 300 Irvine, California 92697-2775 email: lnaugle@uci.edu tel: (949) 824-3209 fax: (949) 824-4563 http://dance.arts.uci.edu/lnaugle/ --============_-1174346557==_ma============-- ---------------------------------------- The Dance-Tech mailing list has recently moved to a new address.
