Call for Presentations: Conference on Digital Technologies and Performance Arts

Kate Sicchio, who recently received her masters in digital performance from the School of Intermedia and Performance Arts at Doncaster College, emailed me the call for papers, presentations and performances for next year's 2nd International Conference for Digital Technologies and Performance Arts.

View Word document to read complete call for presentations.

Proposals are invited for papers, performances, presentations, workshops and poster presentations on the following topics:

- Live performance and interactive systems
- Motion capture/motion-sensing technologies
- Performance pedagogy, education and new media
- HCI and live performance
- Web based performance and virtual performance spaces
- Realtime music control
- Gesture and interactive multimedia
- Interdisciplinarity and new media
- Performance software/hardware development

I always liked thee "Playing Groups" dance performance weblog that Kate created in 2003. I encourage you to take a look at her blog, which allowed visitors to comment on the choreography of a dance piece as it was being developed and practiced. Users could both watch video clips and commentary and then offer their feedback.
