International Interactive Performance Workshop
Troika Ranch’s Live-I (Live Interactive) Workshop
Unitec is offering a unique and rare opportunity to work with
internationally renowned artists Troika Ranch.
Troika Ranch work all the world teaching their unique and
innovative style of artistry. They produce live performances,
interactive instillations and digital films, all which combine
traditional aspects of these forms with advanced technologies. The
artists mission in producing this wide range of art experiences is
to create artwork that best reflects and engages the contemporary
society.
Artistic directors Mark Conigilo and Dawn Stoppiello are widely
recognised as creative leaders in the field of dance and
technology. Their innovative use of digital technologies and
unique sensory systems has led to their being dubbed “interactive
performance pioneers” by the New York Times and “Multimedia
Mavericks” by the Village Voice. They have won numerous awards
including the 2003 Time Out New York Dance Audience “Bessie”
Award and an honourable mention at the 2004 Prix Ars Electronica
Cyberarts competition in Linz, Austria.
The three day workshop is an intensive seminar designed for
artists and advanced students who want to explore the use of
interactive computer technology in the creation and performance of
dance, theatre and related live art works. The participants will
learn to use their gestures or movements to interactively control
computer based media, such as sound synthesizers, video playback
devices and theatrical lighting.
The purpose of the workshop is threefold. First, to give a
practical overview of the available technological tools, describe
their function and, as a group, explore their practical uses in
live performance. Second, to generate a critical discussion
regarding the implications that the use of these tools has on the
way in which a work is created and its resulting content. Third to
allow the participants the chance to create and perform short
studies that make use of the tools in ways that reflect the
aesthetic intentions of their own work.
Workshop dates/times: December 10th 12th, 10am - 5pm
Cost: $ 300
