PERFORMANCE RESEARCH SEMINAR & INTERACTIVE PERFORMANCE  SERIES


Wednesday,  March 11, 2009
Research  Performance Seminar
Gaskell Bldg 048/Drama Studio   16:oo-17:30 pm


 Andrea Davidson
(Université Paris 8 /Chichester University)

<< Le Corps sonore:  Towards an Immersive Performance Environment >>

Dr. Andrea Davidson is currently writing a book entitled Digital Perspectives 
in Dance: Portraits of Choreographers, a collection of monographies on 
international choreographers working with new media. In this conference, she 
will present the work of Québec choreographer Isabelle Choinière, one of the 
rare choreographers to have worked exclusively with new technologies since the 
beginning of her career and sporting a reputation as a pioneer of 
"cyber-modernity." Examining new choreographic models developed by the 
choreographer as she seeks to free dancers from an instrumentalization by 
technology, Dr. Davidson will analyze Choinière?s particular interpretation and 
staging of the virtual body as ?le corps sonore?, a collective body of sound 
produced interactively that proposes a ?new understanding of organicity and a 
broader conception of the body? while creating an immersive performance 
environment through an experience of synaesthesia.
