I was chosen to take part in DANSATHON 2018. Europe’s first ever hackathon for dance. A 3 day connected, collaborative and European event to imagine the future of dance taking place simultaneously in London, Lyon and Liege.
At the crossroads between dance and new technologies to imagine new artistic forms, new stages, new experiences and new ways to engage. Combining the best of these two worlds to imagine the dance of tomorrow, enhance cultural life and social interactions. These are the aim of the DANSATHON project.
Initiated by BNP Paribas Foundation, the Dansathon is co-organised and developed in partnership with three major Dance Institutions :
La Maison de la Danse de Lyon (France)
Sadler’s Wells (UK)
Théâtre de Liège (Belgium)
As facilitator I collaborated with a mixed group of professionals spanning the worlds of technology, design and dance to create a new solution to proposed topic over three days.
We created Double You - An public video installation utilising AI and machine learning to allow passersby to interact with their very own dancing double shadow.
