Dance and new media: new ways of creating and documenting dance

From 2-3 July 2006 this inaugural Cinedebate into new ways of creating and documenting dance will focus on the EG|PC Notation/ Archive Interdisciplinary Research Project.

Against a background of development in movement arts and sciences, Emio Greco | PC (Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten) has undertaken a long-term research project focused on innovative approaches to recording, reproduction, transfer and renewal of their creative work. With the support of EG|PC, the Research group Art Practice and Development, Amsterdam School of the Arts and Cinedans 2006, an interdisciplinary team of specialists from different fields including interactive media design, filmmaking, gesture analysis, cognitive science and dance notation has been invited to discuss and debate the developments of the project so far.

This meeting will take place in a public forum starting Sunday 2 July at 5:30 pm and continuing from 12 noon Monday 3 July. The forum will include the presentation of design ideas for an interactive digital interface and related reflections from cognitive science; augmentation of existing notation systems and relevant research into computation based motion capture and analysis. At the conclusion of the forum, the documentary film based on the Double Skin/ Double Mind workshop will have its premiere screening.
