Description
The SenseStage workshop is meant to bring together people from different dis-
ciplines (dance, theatre, sound, video, light) and cooperate in a collaborative
environment with interactive technologies. The workshop will take place in the
Hexagram BlackBox, a special, configurable room equipped with a full set of
theatre lights. Furthermore a multichannel sound setup and video equipment
will be available. Last but not least, a set of sensor devices with sensors will be
available for use during this workshop.
During the workshop projects will be created that involve real time data
gathered from sensors on the body and in the room, in a performance installation
context. The projects created by the different work groups should be open for
merging or combining with the projects from other work groups.
The outcome of the workshop will be one or more short interactive perfor-
mance sequences.
This research workshop is organised by Chris Salter, Marije Baalman, Marcelo
Wanderley, and research assistants Harry Smoak, Joseph Malloch, Joseph Thi-
bodeau, Brett Bergmann, and Nicolas Munoz. The workshop is part of an
ongoing research project “Sense/Stage”, funded by SSHRC.
