This special ART // TECH // PLAY LIVE event focuses on diversity amongst dance and movement artists who have incorporated tech into their practice and artworks.
This event, developed in collaboration with Essex Cultural Diversity Project, focuses on diversity amongst dance and movement artists working with tech. From VR to motion sensors, installation to livestreaming – join us as we examine how the realm of tech/arts can enable creatives to explore identity and belonging in new and liberating ways.
In a blend of Collusion’s ART // TECH // PLAY LIVE events and ECDP’s soap-box shout-outs, you’ll hear from a remarkable group of movement practitioners, get the opportunity to interact with their work, and explore the cutting-edge facilities of DanceEast’s Digital Suite.
