AC/E digital culture ANNUAL REPORT 2014European Performing Arts and Transmedia Labhttp://on-the-move.org/news/region/article/15854/ european-performing-arts-and-transmedia-lab-pilot/Three French performing arts institutions (Centre Chorégraphique National de Franche-Comté à Belfort, Le Granit, scène nationale de Belfort, and MA scène nationale-Pays de Montbéliard) have come together to create the European Performing Arts and Transmedia Lab Pilot Scheme as a platform to examine contemporary stage writing more profoundly from the point of view of the confluence of theatre, dance, music and the digital arts. Together they have announced the holding of residential events to be held between January and April 2014 with the aim of producing innovative artistic projects in this field.WORKSRobot, by Blanca Li.Choreography created by Blanca Li and her dance company that broaches the complex subject of the relationship pertaining between mankind and machines. The idea arose as a result of a meeting in January 2011 between Maywa Denki, a collective of Japanese artists whose work combines a mixture of animated objects, technology, farce and refinement, and NAO, a humanoid robot. At one point during the choreography five small NAOs dance in synchrony with music created by the Japanese team’s machines. There is no human being on the stage but what is happening is choreography with live music. The production was given a standing ovation at the Montpellier Festival held in July 2013. http://www.blancali.com/es/event/99/robothttp://cultura.elpais.com/cultura/2013/07/05/ actualidad/1373037271_187585.htmlGhost Road, by LODPremiered in Rotterdam in 2012 this musical theatrical work combines images, videoart and electronic music applied to the performance of aAC/Eplay about a journey through ghost towns, past ruined houses and rusting gas stations in California, Arizona and Nevada. The work was directed by Fabrice Murgia, from Belgium, and forms part of a production by LOD (http://www.lod.be/), a performing arts laboratory that combines a number of disciplines in its work such as music, videoart and the plastic arts.Trinity, by Òscar Sol and Iris Heitzingerhttp://vimeo.com/64894353An interactive audiovisual dance presented at the first International Performing Arts Meeting organised by the Grec Festival. The work tells the story of a body, that journeys through various stages of the perception of space, through movement, light and sound. The body is submerged in an environment of audiovisual textures and landscapes which not only accompany it but also push it towards a transformational process. By means of the broad relationship achieved between the triad of movement, light and sound, a language is created through which these elements can be seen in space while, at the same time causing profound changes in the physical behaviour of the body as a result of the reverberations and echoes of its own actions.FOCUS 2014: THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PERFORMING ARTS1.
