  • Choreographic Performance Systems
    Choreographic Performance Systems Johannes Birringer Digital Performance Around the turn of the millennium reviewers noted that the marriage of dance and technology had produced a few significant works which startled audiences and shifted attention to what we now call digital performance. While the growth of computer-based art is an accepted phenomenon in globalized technological cultures, the genre of digital performance is still adolescent and thus in need of historical and conceptual underpinnings.1 The more sustained lineage of dance on screen and multimedia performances which incorporate projections of screen images offers a background for understanding the compatibility between live dance and the moving image, yet the incursion of software into choreographic working process is a different matter. Digital performance, to begin, is not a screen-based medium. Rather, it is characterized by an interface structure and computational processes that are integral for composition, evolving content, aesthetic techniques, interactive configurations and delivery forms. In many instances, the integration of human-machine interfaces implies the design of interactive systems, with 3D motion sensing set ups (for example Kinect) or wearable instruments that control real-time synthesis of digital outputs. Installation architectures compete with the stage – contextual design of programmable systems becomes a new form of architecture, protocol, and bio-informatic space. In the following, I review the historical development of video-dance, motion capture,

  • Sara Black Committee Secretary Senate Legal and Constitutional
    Sara Black Committee Secretary Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Dear Madam/Sir, Re: Impact of the 2014 and 2015 Commonwealth Budget decisions on the Arts I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent changes to Federal Arts Funding. In May 2015, Senator Brandis cut $104.8 million from the Australia Council for the Arts to start the National Program for Excellence in the Arts (NPEA). This was done without any consultation with the Arts sector. It is now clear that the shift of these funds to a ministerially run program, as apposed to an arms-length funding system, will have an extremely negative impact on independent artists and small to medium companies across the entire Australian arts sector. It has become apparent since the announcement of the NPEA guidelines that independent artists are not eligible to apply. The guidelines also state that small to medium organisations cannot apply for organisational support. With the requirements for the Australia Council of the Arts to continue it’s current level of funding to the Major Performing Arts (MPA) companies it is clear that the $104.8 million to be taken from the Australia Council for the Arts will have to be sourced from the funds currently allocated to supporting the independent sector and the small to medium companies, the same area of industry that is ineligible to apply to the NPEA. I am a freelance contemporary dancer, teacher and choreographer and have been working professionally in the performing arts industry for over ten years.
