The term 'digitalisation' is in the current social debate as well omnipresent as diffuse.

The symposium crossing borders: body. image. virtual reality. will deal with the consequences and potentials, which implicates the digital transformation for the dance. How does the perceived body image change under the influence of the digitalisation?

How does the practical work of dancers and choreographers alter? How can we see the digitalisation not only under the aspect, but to put it in a context, which includes the continuity and the conditions of enabling.

 

As lecturers for the issue crossing borders: body. image. virtual reality. are invited:

Eva Karczag, Anna Caroline Weber, David Ritterhaus.

The symposium will have a theoretical discursive part and and a practical performative part.

 

The symposium is open for all, who are interested in the issue of digitalisation in dance.
