Internet and communication technologies offer dance and theatre new
platforms for creating and performing work, with opportunities for
remote interaction and collaboration on a scale never before
imaginable. This book explores methods by which such technologies
can facilitate creative collaborations between performers and
viewers. It draws upon the work of arts, communications and
technology theorists and practitioners, and makes special reference
to the author's series of Internet-based choreography projects with
online communities from Europe, America and elsewhere around the
globe. The book demonstrates how sharing creative processes between
online communities has the potential to enrich the artistic palette
and provide an arts-based learning experience for participants. The
Cartesian duality of the mind-body split apparently inherent in
remote communications is challenged by the physicality of dancing
and choreographing together online. The discussion is focused
primarily upon dance, but the underlying approach is founded upon
devising processes formulated and formalized in theatre-based
contexts. Participants collaborated as "armchair" choreographers
and
"devising" performers using dynamic web sites and online community
software in the creation of their art products. A technical
appendix by the software designer complements the main text.
