Live Internet broadcast from FSU Campus to

Clowes Auditorium in the Indianapolis/Marion County Public Library, Indianapolis, IN

April 23, 2010

FSU Dance stretches the boundaries of performance research with an Internet collaboration involving Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), Butler University Dance, and Dance Kaleidoscope.  Associate Professor and dance technologist Tim Glenn will direct FSU’s involvement in the Intermedia Festival of Telematic Arts on April 23, 2010.  A live audience at the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library’s Clowes Auditorium will experience real-time dance performances from FSU’s Nancy Smith Fichter Dance Theatre.  Technology Specialist Chris Cameron and a team of FSU graduate students trained in dance technology will produce a multi-camera broadcast that will be projected on large video screens in Indianapolis.  Dancers there from Butler University will interact with dancers at FSU throughout the program.  This project is a continuation of Glenn’s research in Dance Telematics, an area of dance technology he has been involved in since being a charter member of the Association for Dance and Performance Telematics (ADaPT) in 2001.  Glenn is the FSU Arts and Humanities representative to Internet2.
