Software for Dancers [phase one] is a London-based research project taking 
place from 24 September to 6 October which aims to develop concepts for 
software rehearsal tool(s) for dance makers and to use this opportunity to 
open up discussion about collaborative practices involving live performance 
and digital technologies. The  primary research team comprises London based 
choreographers [Siohban Davies, Shobana Jeyasingh, Wayne McGregor and 
Ashley Page] working in collaboration with digital artists/ coders from the 
UK and Germany [Guy Hilton, Jo Hyde, Adrian Ward and Christian Ziegler] and 
two researcher/ writers [Sanjoy Roy and Saul Albert].

There are four levels of activity: a period of intensive Research Days will 
run from 24 September to 3 October and involve working meetings of the 
primary research team. This will be followed by two Focus Days on 4 and 5 
October, a Round Table discussion on 6 October, and a Public Seminar to 
share the results of the project (scheduled for 2-5 pm on 6 October at the 
Royal Opera House, London).

For the Focus Days, Round Table and the Public Seminar, the Software for 
Dancers project will be enlarged by the participation of three groups of 
performing artists also working on developing software tools for use in 
rehearsal and live performance: Troika Ranch (new york city), Barriedale 
Operahouse (vienna and london) and Igloo (london).

The website for more detailed information and real time documentation of 
the project is at http://www.location1.org/sfd/. If you are based in or 
close to London and are interested in attending the Public Seminar, please 
register through the website as there is limited space -- there is a 
mailto: link on the 'public seminar' page.

Software for Dancers is Writing Research Associates research project in 
collaboration with Arts Council of England's Dance Department, Sadler's 
Wells Theatre and Random Dance Company.
