How does technology, programming, music and dance work together?

From 30.06.-02.07. the workshop with the Estonian/Norwegian duo, Külla Roosna and Kenneth Flak, will deal with the integration of sound and movement, using the open-source programming language SuperCollider and movement sensors to generate sound.

The workshop is mainly focused on the connection between movement and sound. The participants will learn how to build a fully functional setup for sensor interaction, using their smartphones and laptops. The programs used are mostly open-source and free of charge. The participants need no previous dance experience.

Dance artists, musicians, programmers and interested students of the hFMA-network are welcome to participate in the workshop on the use of accelerometers as a way to create and control the soundscore of a performance.

It all ends in the final event on Saturday, 02.07.
Location: Kulturzentrum (KUZ) Kreuz, Schlitzerstraße 81, 36039 Fulda.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m., start at 8 p.m. - free entry!

The final event will present the following works:

  • Results from the workshop – small dance pieces with live-generated abstract music.
  • „Inheritance“ – a new work by Christian M. Fischer, which deals artistically with the fact that each generation inevitably has to face the cultural, social, economic, and ecological heritage of the previous generation.
  • Between Bone and Silence – a concert for two bodies, where the Estonian/Norwegian artist duo Roosna & Flak are creating worlds where sound and movement are inseparable. Rooted in contemporary dance, their work integrates music, visual and digital art, creating something that might be called a transdisciplinary art form. Their work invites the audience to look, to hear — allowing stories to come, to go, to morph, or simply just to be. – For now.
