IMMEDIATE Immersive Media Dance Integrating in Telematic Environments
Activities of IMMEDIATE will include organisation of high-quality creative workshops resulting in mixed-reality performances in the following countries: Czech Republic, Germany, Slovenia, Turkey and the Slovak Republic, with participation of artists and researchers coming also from France and the countries of associated partners. In addition, activities of the project will include, apart from management, extensive dissemination actions such as public presentations in every participating country, production of DVD and the web site.
IMMEDIATE Immersive Media Dance Integrating in Telematic Environments IMMEDIATE project aims to encourage creativity and innovation in the field of digital art and performance with a special interest in artistic tele-immersive interactions. Through bringing together partners with different cultural backgrounds the project will explore novel possibilities of performances combining real and virtual dancers in mixed-reality telematic environments. IMMEDIATE will support mobility of young choreographers, dancers as well as new media artists and technology experts through a series of residencies and workshops leading into prototype performances. The general objective of the project is to encourage creation, presentation, and promotion of dance performances of the future while creating long-term learning opportunities for comparing and integrating different cultural implications of dance across Europe. “Dance has always existed within the context of society. As society changes, it reframes dance. Today, dance is framed by the technology that surrounds us.” Distributed mixed-reality performances reframe contemporary dance forms in a perspective of emerging technologies such as digital real-time performance tools,three-dimensional motion-capture facilities and systems supporting on-line "intelligent stages". We will integrate these technologies and allow for collaborative tele-immersive experiments that combine technical excellence in dancers' own bodies with creative excellence in virtual computer technologies.
