ENTITY LAB

8th-11th April, 10.30-16.00

This is a unique opportunity to work with Kerry Nicholls and Jasmine Wilson, the Directors of Education for  Wayne McGregor | Random Dance, hosted by Sadler's Wells.

As an intensive four-day course directed towards students in vocational training/16+, ENTITY LAB will ignite a new curiosity in generating choreography and refresh students' working practices in the studio.

Beginning each day with a fast-paced and challenging technique class and followed by repertory sessions in McGregor's idiosyncratic physical language, ENTITY LAB will then concentrate on research-based choreographic exercises. These generative task-based choreographic tools will open new doors to individuals' creativity and facilitate innovative forms of making.

The course will culminate in a sharing on the last afternoon of the course and all participants will be able to attend the evening performance on Friday 11th April, of McGregor's new creation ENTITY at the Sadler's Wells Theatre.

Cost £60 (inclusive of the performance ticket)

ENTITY RESEARCH: agents and augmentation

11 April 2008. 4.00 – 6.00 pm
Ashton Studio, Sadlers Wells

Since 2000 Wayne McGregor and Random Dance have been involved in several interdisciplinary research meetings and projects with other choreographers, designers, artists, scholars and scientists. Each of these projects has focused primarily on questions related to the choreographic process. As the range of interdisciplinary perspectives and interest in dance from other areas has increased, so has the understanding of the possible outcomes of this collaborative research. One of the aims of the recent establishment of the R-Research unit within the Wayne McGregor | Random Dance organisation is to better disseminate these outcomes to an interested public.

Today's seminar is an opportunity to gain insight into the current ENTITY research project. This project is taking place in parallel to the creation of a new art work with the same title (premiering at Sadler’s Wells 10 April 2008) and will continue through Spring 2010 to culminate in the creation of a second new work.

The specific aims of the ENTITY research project are: to develop adaptive software agents that can generate unique solutions to choreographic problems; and to continue to work towards establishing principles of choreographic and physical thinking (distributed and embodied).

The seminar will comprise a series of short presentations from members of the research team including Phil Barnard (MRC Cognition and Brain Studies Unit, Cambridge), Scott deLahunta (R-Research Coordinator), Nick Rothwell (independent composer and software programmer) and Anil Seth (Informatics, University of Sussex). These will focus on background and current developments of the project and be followed by a short discussion.

This seminar is free. To reserve your place, and receive instructions of where to go on the day, please contact Rebecca Marshall on rebecca@randomdance.org
