Theories of Motion Performance-lectureThe project was conceived in the collaborative effort to understand motion through the lens of a movement artist, interactive designer & technologist, sound designer, and performance & technical director. Using technology to mediate the difference in perspectives, the project is an exploration into the blending of technology and dance. The inception of the project stemmed from the possibilities of coming together with different disciplines, to discover and align our “theories” of motion.Deconstructing movement into its fundamental principles, the inception of collaboration is facilitated through a system of understanding movement by dance artist, Zhuo Zihao, and the interactive sensor-system designed to extract quantitative data from qualitative movements. Expressions in the form of sonic and visual output were developed and refined post-workshop, in which sensor placements were determined to collect input data. The final exploration combines the dancer, the system and the environment and sees how the expressions of movement can be transcended. There will be a 30-minute guided tour of the Performing Arts x Tech Lab Industry Sharing exhibition after the event.

About the Performing Arts x Tech Lab Industry Sharing The Performing Arts x Tech Lab Industry Sharing invites practitioners interested in the possibilities, opportunities, and frictions between performing arts and various technologies. Marking the culmination of the nine-month Performing Arts x Tech Lab, the Industry Sharing features an exhibition of the Lab projects, alongside a programme of live demos, playtests, and sharing sessions by the participants of the Lab. Come and experience a diverse range of innovative explorations by the six project teams that have delved into technological explorations and applications in performing arts and performance-making such as the archival of dance movement, interactive systems, and performer-controlled stage effects. Join us to learn from  the teams as they share about their Lab journeys, and how their experiences have sparked various discoveries about the intersections between performing arts and technology.  The Performing Arts x Tech Lab is organised by the National Arts Council in collaboration with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, with Keio-NUS CUTE Center as technology consultant.  Note on accessibility: This event is held in a wheelchair-accessible venue.
