ARTAUD FORUM 2:

Konnecting Gestures
International Conference-Workshop on Performance and Sound Technologies
---------------------------

Friday March 30 - Sunday, April 1, 2012
A two-day conference and performance laboratory
held at the Antonin Artaud Performance Centre
Brunel University, Uxbridge, West London (UK)

http://people.brunel.ac.uk/dap/artaudforum.html


This symposium and performance laboratory is the second installment of 
the series of annually held research events at Brunel University's 
Antonin Artaud Performance Centre, bringing together an invited group of 
international theatre, performance and sound artists, musicians, digital 
artists, art theorists and researchers engaged in creative practices 
that reflect on major innovative performance traditions of the past 
century and their impact on current performance knowledge and physical 
(or physical-digital) techniques.

The ARTAUD FORUM promotes opening up the concept of performance 
research, and continuing last year's intertwined approach to physical 
and conceptual exploration of practice, it emphasizes the relevance of 
experimental treatments of actuality - of forms of collaborative 
creation - that may take us beyond the perspectives and protocols of 
established academic or artistic inquiry. Even as we turn to 
technologies of performances this year, artistic and conceptual criteria 
will be significant, and we have chosen expressive inter/relations - 
"konnecting gestures" as the focus of the 2012 workshop - gestures as 
practice that is at once aesthetic, corporeal, technical and political.
The lab will offer a series of parallel modules investigating the 
relations between choreography and software, sound and motion-design, 
movement capture and 3d digital/virtual environment navigation, light 
and projection architecture, dirty electronics, hacking and interactive 
programming.

The symposium and workshop are composed of dialogue and performance 
practice, intermixed with film screenings and a hands-on electronics and 
wearable design workshop as well as live coding sessions in the digital 
performance studio.

The partnership between the Center and dancetechTV is an experiment in 
collaborative video broadcasting. The channel allows worldwide 24/7 
linear broadcasting of selected programs, LIVE streaming and Video 
On-demand, and is enveloped within dance-tech.net, a donation based 
platform.
For a parallel research context of our explorations of gesture, see the 
extra-institutional "Performance Academy" formed jointly between
