Workshop Description
What are we looking at when we look at dance? How do we sense and make sense of movement, from inside and out? An entryway into an aesthetic game that offers communication tools for players to engage in real-time editing and instant playback within a shared image space. Touching the ordinary self-knowledge that animates our choices as humans and artists facing challenges together.
