SHADOWS OF aiKia – WITH STRATOFYZIKA


Workshop will be structured subsequently: presenting the complex  
system of interaction in audiovisual performance, closer examination  
of each contemporary art form: audio (composition of experimental  
electronic music, live production, improvisation, sound characters and  
experiments), visuals (on a wider range of physical/visual  
interaction, interaction within responsive environments, and
interaction between physical and virtual worlds) and movements  
(various dance approaches in performance; making conscious decisions  
in relationship to the audio and visual elements created and making  
maps for choreography generated by various qualities of movement.

authentic movement exercise in relationship to concept of shadows,  
dualities and atavisms), theoretical summary of each part, a  
functional explanation and practical experimentation with techniques  
and possibilities within each form, creating a new concept for the  
workshop group and final creation of new practical and concrete piece.

Attendants will be split into three groups, led by a person  
respectively in their focus of audio, visuals or movement. We will  
accent the constant relationship between audio – visual – performance.  
On conceptual level of audio representing time perception, common  
emotional experiences and abstract language, visuals building  
architecture in space, defying images or creating illusions, dance as
presentation of dynamic force and velocity, together in interaction  
with audio and visuals. All approaches are versatile, all three parts  
of audiovisual performance has the same potency of carrying metaphors  
of the story, interpreting the final piece in a congenial trinity. We  
will explore the practical and conceptual implications of working with  
interactive tools, instruments and computer-controlled systems within  
performance conditions. Interactive tools and systems, ranging from
multimedia and real time synthesis software (Max/MSP, Isadora) to the  
construction of proximity sensors (haptic, pressure and flex sensors,  
etc), distance-sensor (e.g. ultrasound, laser) or camera/video-based  
responsive environments and “seeing spaces”. All that linked to Audio  
(on Ableton Live), within action/reaction “forces”. Opportunities for  
learning about creative applications of digital technologies in dance  
and performance and for developing individual approaches and  
aesthetics are still not easy to have, and stronger partnerships  
between choreographers, musicians and software programmers but also  
with practitioners from the communications and social science fields  
need to be forged in order to further our understanding of the  
physical, cognitive, and social dimensions of interactivity.
