WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

This workshop explores how software built in a community setting can support and deepen the choreographic process. Designed for movement artists, this workshop will allow participants to use, move with, and iterate on custom-built software tools (e.g. video mixing, spatial interactions) to help them deepen their inquiry on a topic of choice, while understanding their own interests and boundaries around technology use in their practice. We will end in a demonstration of explorations and community discussion. No coding, tech, or movement experience necessary. *This workshop is an extension of the CodeMoves initiative, aimed at weaving technology into the creative practice.
