Artists collaborating on a performance from different locales is nothing new.
It allows almost instant communication. A Summer Intensive Workshop in Performance Telematics will have the opportunity to work on the Intelligent Stage and at the Dance Studio Theater in the Herberger College of Fine Arts at Arizona State University. These two spaces are linked using I2, which allows for virtual partnering across the two spaces and simultaneous webcast of the rehearsal process and performances. Artists can help shape this technology, especially in the formative stages, by pushing the boundaries and utilizing I2 in creative ways. Dance is very demanding of video streaming technology.
