DANCEWORKS
Dominicusstrasse 3, 2nd Hinter Hof, 4th Floor Studio
10823 Berlin
The workshop is both physical and technical. We will use elements of the Nikolais/Louis Technique for Dance to train the body and introduce improvisation. Kim and I were both members of the company and teach the technique at the university and professional level.
As we move into interaction, we will focus on working with the media to improvise and create a dialogue between the performer and media. I am planning two or three different types, feedback, abstraction, and time sampling for us to work with. The interactively are camera based and we will use hardware (video mixer, effects box) and software (modul8).

Willy Sengewald (thegreeneyl.com…): Design is generally perceived as a way of enhancing the existing normal. However, it has the potential to propose an alternative to our everyday reality by depicting something unimagined, something absurd or impossible. What is the adequate mode of practice for this intend?
David Croft (davidc.net…) will be introducing a project to create a wall art installation that dynamically and fluidly interacts with the viewers by monitoring the position of their bodies to give a natural-feeling experience.
