  • 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,

Object of study is the process of visualizing and creating choreographic productions. Subject of study is methods and tools for building an intelligent visualization system and creating choreographic productions. Research methods is application of system analysis methods. The obtained results enable the cho- reographers to visualize their productions quickly and effectively.

  • 'What Ever Happened to Breakdancing?'
    'What ever happened to breakdancing?' Transnational h-hoy/b-girl networks, underground video magazines and imagined affinities. Mary Fogarty Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Interdisciplinary MA in Popular Culture Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © November 2006 For my sister, Pauline 111 Acknowledgements The Canada Graduate Scholarship (SSHRC) enabled me to focus full-time on my studies. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my committee members: Andy Bennett, Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Nick Baxter-Moore and Will Straw. These scholars have shaped my ideas about this project in crucial ways. I am indebted to Michael Zryd and Francois Lukawecki for their unwavering kindness, encouragement and wisdom over many years. Steve Russell patiently began to teach me basic rules ofgrammar. Barry Grant and Eric Liu provided comments about earlier chapter drafts. Simon Frith, Raquel Rivera, Anthony Kwame Harrison, Kwande Kefentse and John Hunting offered influential suggestions and encouragement in correspondence. Mike Ripmeester, Sarah Matheson, Jeannette Sloniowski, Scott Henderson, Jim Leach, Christie Milliken, David Butz and Dale Bradley also contributed helpful insights in either lectures or conversations. AJ Fashbaugh supplied the soul food and music that kept my body and mind nourished last year. If AJ brought the knowledge then Matt Masters brought the truth. (What a powerful triangle, indeed!) I was exceptionally fortunate to have such noteworthy fellow graduate students. Cole Lewis (my summer writing partner who kept me accountable), Zorianna Zurba, Jana Tomcko, Nylda Gallardo-Lopez, Seth Mulvey and Pauline Fogarty each lent an ear on numerous much needed occasions as I worked through my ideas out loud.
