Thinking on ~ Performer presence: 'Sensing bodies' in digital dance performance
Kerry Francksen-Kelly, De Montfort University
This paper discusses findings from the author's practice-based-research into digital dance performance making and offers a perspective of Erin Manning’s ‘sensing bodies’ as a methodology for rethinking the relationship between live and digital dancing bodies. Through an investigation of the exchange between real-time image processing technologies and movement, the paper focuses on performer presence and ideas relating to the ‘digital other’.
Kerry is an active practitioner, choreographer, artist and senior lecturer in dance at De Montfort University, Leicester. She has been working as a professional practitioner since 1997, making installation, live performance and works for camera
The Sound of Movement Wearables

The presentation will also briefly introduce concepts for DAP Lab’s new choreo-sonic performance/work in progress For the Time Being premiered at Waterman’s, London, May 2012.
