Technology and Dance Workshop with Linda Ryan
PlySpace and Cornerstone Center for the Arts are excited to pair with PlySpace Resident Linda Ryan to offer free public workshops on dancing and movement with technology. Ryan’s dance and choreographic work explores dance performance with unconventional costumes, tools, and technologies. She has created movement with velcro suits, wearable audio speakers, GoPro action cameras, and more.
While in residence at PlySpace, Linda will be researching new technological tools for dancing, including the creation of a heat sensitive modular flooring. As part of her community collaborative project, she will conduct a series of workshops that explore tools and methods any dancer can use to enhance their practice.
The workshops will all be held at Cornerstone Center for the Arts. Participants should register through the Cornerstone website to reserve a space.
