The Defiance Project

The Defiance Project uses the creation, expression, practice, and performance of dance to explore what it means to defy. The company behind this project manifests defiance in both the form and function, and process and product of the work it does.

 

  • Presence, Connection, and Change: Reflection on Virtual Venues Performance and Telepresence

    Presence comes from sensations of the body and the perceptions of the mind those sensations provoke. This allows us to connect to space being changed by it. This perspective is from the inside out, sensing the body from the inside out- an internal embodiment of the world around us. Seeing the world- and yourself- through your own eyes and senses.

    Telepresence and external embodiment: experiencing the body form the perspective of space, external perspective, allows space to connect to us by being changed by us. Seeing yourself from the eyes, senses and perspective of space

    Z-Lab, UC Berkeley and Embodied Media and Technology Lab, UC Irvine

    Synopsis:
    The Virtual Venues Symposium involves a series of dance performances, talks, and demonstrations connecting UC Irvine and UC Berkeley using high-speed computer networks. Featuring a team of collaborating artists and technologists from both campuses, this project positions the University of California as an early adopter of telepresence research and performance. Utilizing high-performance networks, which allow for robust audio-visual environments to be shared by multiple distributed users interacting in real time, Virtual Venues connects multiple sites and participants to stimulate new collaborative practices that are interactive and spontaneous. Public performances are scheduled for November 9, 2012 - see schedule below.
