As with past IJPAN events, “Timings” will also be streamed live via our website.
“Timings, an Internet Dance” joins together dancers in three locations: Tokyo, Champaign, and Dekalb, IL, for an experimental dance fantasy on the idea of timing, and the role it plays in our lives. The performance features motion-capture control of 3D avatars, real-time live streaming and recorded video, and live electronic music. Many innovative technologies are being used, some of which have been developed specifically for this performance. This is dance theater of the future, developed now at University of Illinois.
Produced by U of I Professor and IJPAN Technical Director John Toenjes, “Timings” features a cast of U of I dance alumni and current doctoral students. In Tokyo, well-known Butoh dancers will be performing from the Digital Hollywood University, and in Dekalb, dancers will be at Northern Illinois University under the direction of professor Paula Frasz.
This event is also sponsored by the Harry D. Castle Fund, Dance at Illinois, and eDREAM.
