DANCExDANCE
Will humans and their technology live happily ever after? You decide.
DANCE² is a dance installation about human-robot interaction and our collective feelings about technology’s influence on the future. Audiences will use their smartphones to interact with the performance, influencing the choreography of the human and robotic dancers. Through their choices, we will explore the question of whether emerging technology is bringing us closer together or pulling us farther apart. This event is part of the University of Maryland's Moving with Screens + Machines: A Symposium on Embodied Practices and Technology.
Audience Role
The audience will determine the choreography and design elements depicted in the production based on their answers to a series of questions. These questions will be posed to them via their smartphones throughout the performance.
