How can choreographic practice inform the act of coding? Can knowledge about movement and the body as well as choreographic theory be applied in the design of man-machine interaction? And how can this relationship inform contemporary performance practices and collaborations?
The
Choreographic Coding Lab (CCL) is an internationally travelling format offering digital media ‘code savvy’ artists the opportunity to translate aspects of choreography and dance into digital form and apply choreographic thinking to their own practice.
This year, Kenya gets its very first
Choreographic Coding Lab that will conclude several successful workshops in 2015 and 2016. For two weeks, Kenyan and German choreographers, media artists, programmers, composers and performers will work together on a project idea.
The interdisciplinary group will open the doors of their lab for interested parties, present their positions, record new ideas and present interim results. The joint work will be premiered in Frankfurt/Main in June 2017 and shown in Nairobi in November 2017.
Monday, March 13th, will comprise of a public welcome and introductory presentations by the participants and Saturday, March 25th, samples of the lab results will be presented.
Further public events will be announced.
The
Choreographic Coding Lab is organised by the Goethe-Institut Kenya and
NODE Forum for Digital Arts in cooperation with
Motion Bank.
