"Snack Time!" at ACDFA!

Our class will be presenting "Snack Time!" at the Central Region Conference of the American College Dance Festival Association (http://www.acdfa.org) on Saturday, March 20th, 12:30-2:30pm, in the Krannert Cetner for the Performing Arts (KCPA), on the campus of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Our presentation will be a introduction and participatory experience in telematic dance performance and will include a performance featuring real-time exchange between dancers in Illinois and musicians at the Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC) in Belfast, Northern Ireland (http://www.sarc.qub.ac.uk/main.php). The collaboration with SARC will happen via video feeds from each venue to the other, and via low-latency, high quality (16bit, 44.1kHz) 4-channel audio from SARC to KCPA. The scores for this dance and for the audience participation portion of the class are currently being developed by the students.

This promises to be a unique, interesting experience for the students and participants alike - Hopefully one that will inspire further creativity in spatially-displaced artistic collaboration!

Hope to see you there!
