The conference NIME06: New Interface forMusic Expression and IRCAM present:

A NIME06/ IRCAM workshop:

CHOREOGRAPHIC COMPUTATIONS: motion capture and analysis for dance

A unique event focusing on new possibilities for relationships between 
choreography and computation

Date: Sunday, 4 June 2006
Where: IRCAM, Studio 5
When: 10-13h / 14h30-17h30
Registration: required (limited seating) *direct link to registration:

Fees: Full ?50 / Student ?30
Language: English

Organisers/ Presenters: Frédéric Bevilacqua (IRCAM, F) and Scott deLahunta 
(WritingResearch Associates, NL)

Presenters: Antonio Camurri (Professor, InfoMUS lab, University of Genoa, 
I), Mark Coniglio (Composer/ Media Artist,Troika Ranch Company, USA), Marc 
Downie (Artist and Researcher, OpenEndedGroup, USA), Myriam Gourfink 
(Choreographer, F), Rémy Muller (Researcher, IRCAM, F)

This workshop will focus on new innovations combining motion capture and 
computer-based techniques with choreography and performance, an area in 
which an international group of artists and researchers has been breaking 
new ground. The software artists and programmers involved are exploring a 
range of heterogeneous computer concepts and approaches from agent-based 
aesthetics to the development of new tools and pathways to support 
collaborative composition (using software platforms and environments such 
as EyesWeb, Isadora, MnM and Fluid). Through their close collaboration with 
the choreographers (e.g. Trisha Brown, Myriam Gourfink and Dawn 
Stoppiello), a shared understanding of movement and gesture is evolving to 
support the application of complex algorithmic procedures to equally 
complex choreographic creation. Together these practitioners are carving 
out fresh territory for correspondences between choreography and 
computation. We have invited some of these artist/ researchers here to the 
present their recent collaborative work in the context of this NIME06/ 
IRCAM workshop.

This workshop concept is linked to an emerging network of activity focusing 
on movement analysis/ interdisciplinary arts and science research 
connecting research institutes in Genoa, Paris, Amsterdam, Bonn, Monaco and 
Birmingham, UK. More information will be made available at the workshop.
