I am currently a grad student in dance-tech at osu, hoping to learn about the history and trajectory of dance-tech. I am not in a position to say how it differs from earlier years, nor am I really ...

Dance Technology; what is it?

I've been doing some thinking on my post a while ago - each of those categories are their own mediums. it's not fair to say that exploration in these media does not conceptually progress the field...

According to professors I’ve studied choreography and history under, modern dance was popular through the 50s and 60s too. If you mean by comparison to other art forms, that is true - especially be...

All interesting points Boris. I share your experience of dance "pre-college." Part of my interest has been keeping that perspective, and trying to make dance that can appeal to the academic dance w...

Oh! I take it back... thanks for the correction. I've decided that this great topic - mathematics... should have its own forum. Agree??? So I started a new forum to make it easier to keep track of ...

Black Market of Intellect

I want to share, but have found that when I do share, some people take and don't respond. They blog about my idea, don't mention me, and don't respond. I've seen this around in blogs that frequent here. I'm not blaming this network. I myself have learned a great deal from the sharing here - and appreciate every minute of it. In this way I recognize that all of my knowledge is collaborative in nature, so my ideas are also collaborative in some sense. I'm also careful to sort through what I've gat… Continue

FREE Market "I should not even be writing this blog because I should get paid for it. It's my work. It's my idea. But I'm so worried that someone will do it before I do that I'm going to blog about it anyway. At least I'll get the exposure. And the publicity may lead to gigs where I"ll get paid...." ~ANONYMOUS With that. I am guilty of it. You are guilty of it. Pretty much all bloggers are guilty of it. If we put our work online it immedi… Continue

Lec / Dem @ Sarah Lawrence

I had a wonderful time with Tony Schultz' class.

His students were amazingly bright, open, articulate, and communicative. I appreciated the entire experience - from Tony helping me swap out an older version of the speak obj for a newer one, to the pizza, and the final test run of VICKI with the class at the end. They were such creative and invested movers! It was amazing to watch and I've wished I could see them again and again! I could have stayed for 2 weeks easily. I hope to see them… Continue

Maya 8.5

A program hardly attainable for a first time user. I was fortunate that there were two of us, dancers that is, in the class. I went an entirely different route than my comrade. She opted to import video dance onto moving 3D shapes with textures - a nice concept; I can't wait to see her explore the use of zoom and pan with the maya cameras (which work much differently than physical cameras) against a dance video in which zoom and pan are important elements as well. I'm excited to see what she cr… Continue

"dance and tech" is a field of theft and non-authentic invention

On the "genre" of dance and technology, a comment was made that the people who use the tools in dance and tech are just feeding off of the creativity of the person who invented the tool.
