About Me (human):: Johannes Birringer is a choreographer and artistic director of AlienNation Co (www.aliennationcompany.com), an independent arts ensemble based in Houston, TX. He is also co-founder of a telematic performance collective (ADaPT) and has explored telepresence in performances with partners in different places. He has directed numerous multimedia theatre, dance, and digital performances in Europe, the Americas, and China; collaborated on site-specific installations, and exhibited work at film and video festivals. He now resides in Houston and London.

He's author of Theatre, Theory, Postmodernism (1989), Media and Performance (1998), Performance on the Edge (2000), Performance, Technology and Science (2008). In 2003 he founded the Interaktionslabor (http://interaktionslabor.de) - an interactive media lab in a former coal mine in southwest Germany which has met every July since 2003 and conducts international workshops and labs.

Since 2004 Johannes has been developing a research group in England where he now co-directs the Design-and-Performance Lab ( DAP-Lab), at Brunel University; he moved there in 2006 and he is currently a professor of Performance Technologies and the head of the Center for Contemporary and Digital Performance.

Hie latest work, Suna no Onna, created collaboratively with the Dap Group and produced by Dans Sans Joux, premieres at London;s Laban Centre on December 8 as part of the Intimacy Festival.

Where are you based?: Houston and London

Area of interest on performance and new media: dance-theatre; narrative interactive dance works / digital performances;
digital installations; working with wearables and sensors;
telematic performance.

How did you learn about dance-tech.net?: the network of friends

Enviornments and applications that you use the most for your projects: other

Which other:: mixtures and recombinations of many of the above, but i don't think of them as environments. the environment is the entire resposnive physical/digital environment which includes the human performers.

How do you train yourself or your performers. How do you approach your embodied practices? what kind of technique do you use?: We work in laboratories and I have formed a Lab group (DAP-Lab) in London focussed on research and development, as well as production, combining all design areas
with digital performance. When we work with camera tracking system, camera,
or wearable sensors (direct interfaces), we expore the new interface performance techniques through the compositions of a new work.

yes, sure, go ahead. thanks for creating the group.

you will be pleased to hear that our last concert (Friday night) of showing Suna no Onna was very wonderful, i think the piece has grown and improved, and we felt it was visually so much stronger, as were the performances and the lighting/colors. We are all quite pleased. see our gallery:

In my last post, Forum means "Forum" in this dance-tech.net. If possible, we will be able to create that for the project and related subject.

How about construting any forum or communities in this dance-tech.net

Warmest Regards,
Yukihiko Yoshida

ah, yes, that;'s what i guess, so that is how some of these maneuvers work. that also means the web and these websites or "social sites" will become more and more cross referential and self referential. interesting.
thanks for your response.

At 11:43pm on March 1st, 2008, Marlon Barrios Solano/network_producer said…: Hello j,
yes, I read the email in the dance-tech list from Hellene and your response in the list. I know their work so I decided to do a search inside you tube. I found and account and I am almost sure that is theirs.
See that the video is been fed from You tube. So, I grabbed the embed code and put it inside the post. Simple.
If there copyright infringement there might be problems for the person that uploaded it not from the "embedders". Also a lot od You Tube users disable the embedding function if they don't want their video to be placed in another sites.
I guess that they want people to do so.
Let me know if this answers you question.
