KINESTECH: Dancing across Media On Thursday 22 April 2010 at 8pm, KINESTECH: Dancing across Media was performed as part of the international conference Kinesthetic Empathy, Concepts and Contexts. Specially commissioned by the Watching Dance Project in association with Moves International Festival of Movement on Screen, the programme included Bridget Fiske’s Red Rain, which interweaves choreography and digital technology in a new, live work. Performed alongside the regional premiere of Melanie Clarke’s Both of View, an improvised collaboration between a dancer/choreographer and a percussionist/composer, KINESTECH: Dancing Across Media was a huge success and we would like to thank the performers and their teams for making possible this unique, double-headline show at Manchester’s Dancehouse. |
