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.
