This module introduces students to the interplay between technology and current approaches in contemporary choreography and dance research. Developments in the use of technology in modern and contemporary dance are discussed historically and are placed in socio-historical context. The module explores examples of existing works, specialist companies and artists that experiment with the use of computers and the camera and discusses current trends in the field. The multifaceted collaboration between dance and technology is examined in its various manifestations including references in creative processes, the emergence of new technologies, production, documentation and archiving. The role of digital technologies in dance research is examined and current topics of debate are discussed, such as the way this interplay may address the notion of dance as intangible cultural heritage. The relationship of dance and technology is examined as new understanding of notions such as embodiment, kinaesthesia, participation, and an ontology of dance are revealed.
