Hi, dancetech-ers!
*Apologies for cross-postings*
I'll be doing a presentation/workshop at the #MobilityShifts
conference called Creating Participatory Culture Through Performance
and it will focus on using improvisational dance performance
frameworks for online collaboration. Through dance-based avatar
movement and task-based performance games inside a virtual world,
participants will weave a theatrical performance together that
encourages active listening, online rapport and instant collaboration.
Students in my Collaboration in Networked Environments class (most of
whom have no previous dance or performance experience) will
participate as performers, along with participants/performers at a
partnering Internet Society event in Philadelphia. The use of
improvisational performance frameworks for online collaboration allows
people to instantly connect and cooperate regardless of geographical
location or previous experience with digital media or performance. The
performance will be followed by a Q&A in which the performative
elements and their relation to online collaboration will be explained
along with feedback from student participants. After that, the
audience will have an opportunity to ‘embody’ an avatar and
participate in an impromptu dance, thereby experiencing the immediacy
and connection.
You can join us in the physical space at the New School or in the
virtual world Second Life. The event will also be livestreamed.
