The first and only book to focus on dance on the Internet, Sita Popat's fascinating Invisible Connections examines how Internet and communication technologies offer dance and theatre new platforms for creating and performing work, and how opportunities for remote interaction and collaboration are available on a scale never before imaginable. Drawing upon the work of practioners and theorists in the arts, communications and technology theorists and , Invisible Connections makes special reference to Popat's series of Internet-based choreography projects from with online communities around the globe, and explores: * methods by which such technologies can facilitate creative collaborations between performers and viewers * how sharing creative processes between online communities can enrich the artistic palette and provide arts-based learning * how the Cartesian duality of the mind-body split is challenged by the physicality of dancing and choreography together online. With its dual aspect approach, from the author as an artist/researcher and the appendix being written by a software designer, the historical perspective on performance on the internet coupled with the writing makes this a must read book for any student of performance, dance or communication studies.
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
This book brings together experts across disciplines to examine the connection between digital technologies and human movement, and to consider the creative and artistic possibilities of technologized human motion.
This book offers a set of eleven discipline-specific chapters from across the arts, humanities, psychology, and medicine. Each contributor considers the creative potential of error and/or ambiguity, defining these terms in the particular context of that discipline and exploring their values and applications. Themes include error in choreography, poetry, media art, healthcare, psychology, critical typography and mixed reality performance. The book emerges from a core question of how dance research and HCI can inform each other through consideration of error, ambiguity and 'messiness' as methodological tools. The digital age had heralded the possibility that error could be eradicated by the logic of computers but several chapters focus on glitch in arts practices that exploit errors in computer programmes, or even create programmes specifically to produce errors. Together, the chapters explore how error can take us somewhere different or somewhere new, to develop a new, more interesting way of working.

What is 'performance'? What are the boundaries of Performance
Studies? How do we talk about contemporary performance practices
today in simple but probing terms? What kinds of practices
represent the field and how can we interpret them?
Drawing on examples from a wide range of practices across site specific performance, virtual reality, dance, applied theatre and everyday performance, "Performance Perspectives" addresses the binary of theory and practice and highlights the many meeting points between studio and seminar room. Each chapter takes the innovative form of a three-way conversation, bringing together theoretical introductions with artist interviews and practitioner statements. The book is supported by activities for discussion and practical devising work, as well as clear guidance for further reading and an extensive reference list across media "Performance Perspectives" is essential reading for anyone studying, interpreting or making performance.
