This symposium and performance laboratory is the second installment of the
series of annually held research events at Brunel University's Antonin Artaud
Performance Centre, bringing together an invited group of international
theatre, performance and sound artists, musicians, digital artists, art
theorists and researchers engaged in creative practices that reflect on major
innovative performance traditions of the past century and their impact on
current performance knowledge and physical (or physical-digital) techniques.
The programme includes evening concerts and exhibitions on Friday and Saturday,
featuring among many other artists, Arthur Elsenaar, who explores the human
face as a computer- controlled display device; the ambient musician and
multimedia artist Thomas Köner; vocalists Jennifer Walshe and Julie Bokowiec
who control their voices gesturally with complex sensor interfaces;
experimental acccordionist, improviser and composer Camilla Barratt-Due; and
engineer Frieder Weiss who has designed many interactive music , dance and art
installations.
The lab will offer a series of parallel modules investigating the relations
between choreography and software (featuring the popular workshop "Whatever
Dance Toolbox", introduced by BADco., one of the most dance companies current
working in Europe) sound and motion-design, movement capture and 3d
digital/virtual environment navigation, light and projection architecture,
dirty electronics, hacking and interactive programming.
The symposium and workshop are composed of dialogue and performance practice,
intermixed with film screenings and a hands-on electronics and wearable design
workshop as well as live coding sessions in the digital performance studio.
Featured participants include:
Arthur Elsenaar, Thomas Köner, Claudia Robles, John Collingswood, Julie
Wilson-Bokowiec, Mark Bokowiec, Jennifer Walshe, Camilla Barratt-Due, Kate
