We are delighted to invite you to our vibrant and diverse showcase of experimental work with motion capture in remote choreographic collaboration, sharing the outputs of a six-month digital dance research residency. Six teams of dancers and creative technologists - from India, Thailand, Malta, Brazil, the US, and the UK - will present unique breakthrough work in their own dance style and aesthetic.

Our AHRC-funded Goldsmiths Mocap Streamer project ‘Building an international network for virtual dance collaboration’ has six international teams in a six-month artist residency. This project showcase event will be a combination of live, immersive screen-based performance, in-person interactive performance, and interactive installation. It is presented in a hybrid in-person and live-streamed mode with remote dancers performing together within a virtual and interactive environment. Each of the six projects will be presented in different formats within an afternoon programme of presentations and conversations.

This event is part of the Being Human festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 10–19 November 2022. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, with generous support from Research England, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. For further information please see beinghumanfestival.org.

Work is presented in partnership with project partners Target3D, Akram Khan Company, Alexander Whitley Dance Company, and Noitom Mocap.
