AC/E digital culture ANNUAL REPORT 2014DER KAISER VON ATLANTISCaminoshttp://www.lanzanos.com/proyectos/caminos/Cristina Rosa launched this project to bring to life a one-person show of theatre and dance in which she uses her body and her voice as the main vehicles of the performing arts. The piece passes through different times of life, such as the search for life- aims at different ages and their various nuances. A multidisciplinary show that brings together dance, acting, music, lighting and audiovisual. “The idea of creating this one-person show was inspired by my last spell at the École des Sables, Senegal, in 2011”, said Cristina Rosa in the presentation of her idea. “After returning to my home city of Badajoz in Spain, I put a lot of work and effort into developing the project for over a year, and when that process was nearing completion, I thought it necessary finalise it and thus end this cycle where it began, in the École des Sables, Senegal, with help and review by Patrick Acogny (codirector together with his mother, Germaine Acogny, of the École des Sables)”. Rosa promised to keep her donors informed about the progress of the project, particularly the final stages of the creative project in Senegal. She obtained €3,360 after requesting €3,200.AC/ECROWDSOURCINGCrowdsourcing opens up infinite possibilities for creative collaboration through participation. The new technologies have become an ideal medium for creative proposals open to a broad audience so that they can contribute to setting them up and developing them. In comparison with crowdfunding, we could say that this is more a way of contributing work and ideas than a way of contributing money. This concept is thoroughly explained in the article by Tíscar Lara in this Annual Report, entitled “Crowdsourcing. Shared Culture”. Both this writer and Esteban Trigos, in “Cultural sector marketing and consumption through digital technology”, coincide when they state that most of the crowdsourcing projects that are undertaken have culture as a common denominator.Diablo Ballet: Flight of the Dodohttp://youtu.be/w_9GTbuYHxEThis dance company from San Francisco once again serves as an example, precisely with a project that emerged after using social networking as a strategy to bond with audiences, as we saw in the previous case. Flight of the Dodo is a work that was entirely conceived on the Internet. During January and February 2013, the company called a brainstorming session on Twitter for suggestions for a new show. tweets such as “The story of Dodo Bird, birds that cannot fly and are beginning to become extinct”, “Feeling of the choreography: deliberately ironical”, or “Turquoise” reached choreographer Robert Dekkers. In total, 130 ideas of which eight were selected for the conception of the new production. Even the music chosen by the choreographer, the Concerto for two cellos by Vivaldi, was decided in an online vote.FOCUS 2014: THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PERFORMING ARTS3.1 THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO CREATE A COMMUNITY CURRENT PAGE...149
