Crossing Borders 2013
Artists Katja Nyqvist and Nic Sandiland discuss the role of audiences’ everyday movements and cinematic techniques in shaping interactive choreography. Crossing Borders is a series of talks curated by Frank Bock that invites UK and international practitioners whose work understands movement and embodiment through a variety of different forms. Art practice, neuroscience, somatics and curation underpin the many contexts where such explorations take place. Presented by Independent Dance at the Siobhan Davies Studios, London. Download MP3
Crossing Borders 2011
Nic looks at the inter-relationship between live movement and prerecorded movement as a fundamental aspect of his practice over the past 10 years aiming to show that through various digital interfaces (motion tracking – ultrasound, infra red and now hacked Kinect sensors) how one can achieve an intimate movement-based relationship between pedestrian movement in everyday environments (members of the public in high streets, town squares etc.) and dancer/performers in in a cinematic environment.
