Abstract
This seminar presents the
way in which movement-based interactive art challenges the ways in
which dance traditionally describes the body-medium. The intent of this
choreographic research is to magnify and heighten the public’s
awareness of how bodies are coupled to the environment through various
processes of direct, indirect and continuous action-response and
feedback experiences. The notion of the kinesfield is presented to
describe this body-medium which shifts the locus of attention away from
the body and space, or dance and technology as separate subjects of
discourse, and focuses instead on the qualitative, relational and
differential movement dynamics which take place among them.
