Common Ground: Making Meaning in the Arts and Sciences

 

The Space of Dance: Movement, Metaphor and Media

Ellen Bromberg, Associate Professor, Dept. of Modern Dance

Abstract

In recent years innovation in dance has included the integration of media and technology, both on stage and on screen, in a multitude of ways. The use of interactive programs that allow dancers to trigger light, sound and image; the use of the internet as both vehicle for and site of performance, and the layering of two and three dimensional images within the traditional proscenium setting, all allow new ways of experiencing time, space and metaphor in dance. In this talk I will present a number of performance works in which I have utilized these technologies and I will discuss how they have influenced my creative inquiry as a dance and media artist.
