About the VR Workshop:
Technology is an essential tool of our daly lives. How technology can transform an artistic process? where and when does it matter, and what can technology bring on the table to any creator or interpret. This workshop tempt to explore each participants’s creativity using modern technology such as Virtual Reality. It is composed of two parts. First part will focus on repertory dance material from the company. Second part will be to focus on the idea of finding a site specific area to where groups of students will be inventing their own VR dance film. Though this workshop we will discuss artistic choices when answering the tasks, feedbacks on learning the repertoire.
