"Codemoves: Body-Space-Time" :Movement and Coding Workshop

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 by The Movement Project, aimed at weaving technology into the creative practice. (learn more here: https://www.codemoves.studio/) CodeMoves was selected as a 2024 Knight New Work grantee, an initiative of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation that supports artists and organizations in Akron, Miami, and Detroit who are using technology to innovate how art is created, shared, and experienced.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Participants will need to bring their own laptops.
