NEW@Graham: Graham and Tech
A demonstration of where the Company is now and where it might be going in light of the incredible possibilities offered by artificial intelligence, virtual reality, motion capture, and other new discoveries. Dancers and technicians will be on hand to demonstrate some of the Company’s recent experiments, including a 360-degrees vision of the Night Journey chorus; Floes, a multimedia collaboration by choreographer Virginie Mécène, composer Judith Shatin and artist SoHyun Bae; and a new work by choreographer Darshan Singh Bhuller, who regularly incorporates technology into his choreography. The conversation will ask whether tech can be used in new ways for preserving dance, whether it can be artistically expressive, and how we can use these discoveries to take dance into the future.
