Event overview
A night of performances as part of the International Conference on Movement Computing
8 pm Thursday 28 June 2017
Deptford Town Hall Building
Still, Moving
Jules Françoise, Yves Candau and Sarah Fdili Alaoui
A performance for two dancers in which an interactive sound environment responds to subtle changes in muscular activity, disclosing and extending the inner bodily experiences of the performers. We explore how the sonification of micro-movements can increase or disrupt the performers’ kinesthetic awareness, and how it affects the kinesthetic empathy between the performers and the audience.
Intersubjective Soundings
Doug Van Nort
This piece is written for MYO armbands, electro-acoustic ensemble and gestural recognition of soundpainting conducting. In the piece, soundpainting-inspired gestures guide the performers, as does a graphic/textual score which defines the sonic palette and instrumental gestures available to the players. Tensions are negotiated between acoustic and electronic sources, and between bottom-up structured improvisation and top-down guiding via conducting.
Webpage in Three Acts
Joana Chicau
A live coding performance, WebPage in Three Acts is an assemblage of graphic experiments into a hybrid form of composition, combining principles of choreography with the formal structures of web-coding. As in choreography, web-design also deals with space, time and movement qualities. It has been defining ways of moving, collectively or individually, through fluid nonetheless complex landscapes of information displays, networked spaces, and multimedia environments.
O-Return
Ian Heisters, Sheldon Smith and Lisa Wymore
A performance that is both a game and an experiment in real-time computer generated performance. 0-RETURN uses audio and projection to direct performers in a series of escalating actions and movements determined by the computer during the performance in real-time. Performers attempt–and often fail–to carry out the computer’s instructions, which range from the specific and simple to the complex and figurative but are always new and unexpected. The result is an off-balance, hilarious, and occasionally arresting experience that questions the nature of human/computer relationships and interfaces.
