WORKSHOP 2
Individual body vs shared body

free workshop

The workshop offers an experience in the field of sensor applications to a performer’s movement; capturing the movement of a performer and translating such movement into parameters which generate and transform sound events (or light/video events), leads to face the relationship between scenic actions and the connected sound structure generated through a functional interaction.

During the workshop, an interactive system will be achieved; through such a system, the performer will be able to send the data related to his/her own movements to all participants. With such data, every participant – both individually and through a collective action – will propose his/her own interpretation in order to create the final performance of the workshop.

During the workshop we will be dealing with the concept of proxemics intended as the study of human use of space, and the organization of distances inside a communication context, both verbal and non-verbal, and in a relationship with the instrumental gesture.
