Performances: Movement Robotics by Chris Ziegler

University of Art and Design Linz Summer Workshop by Media Artist Chris  Ziegler with Master Students from the Department Interface Cultures and  Bruckner University / Dance Department Institute of Dance Arts of Anton  Bruckner Private University supported and hosted by REDSAPATA Tanzfabrik.   

The workshop takes place in an interactive robotic stage of around 30  motorized LEDs, researching the  relation of human physical motion in a  relation to a mechanized environment. How can we make the user or  audience experience more physical and participatory? The body of a  dancer is connected to the environment and interacts both with the  audience and the mechanical system through digital interfaces. How does  moving in a robotic stage transforms the orientation and relation to the  human body? What is the experience being Immersed in a digital and  mechanical universe?   

Participating Artists: Linaá Pulido Barragán, Dogus Karlik, Katherine Romero, Aizhan  Saganayeva, Behiye Erdemir, Maria Dirneder and Tomomi Watanabe (Dance)   

On September 7 and 8, Redsapata Dance Factory we will present 3  interactive performances and installations developed during a 2-month  summer workshop. Performances begin at 9pm.   

The workshop is supported by the German NATIONAL PERFORMANCE NETWORK -  STEPPING OUT, funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture  and the Media as part of the NEUSTART KULTUR. Support Program Dance.
