It offers profound discussions of Chineseness through an unprecedented lens, advancing a suite of choreographic tools beneficial for both academic and practical inquiries. The methodology of techno-choreography employed draws from theories as well as applications of interactivity, immersion, virtual reality, and motion capture systems. It perceives intercultural dancing bodies and cultural artefacts, such as chopsticks, \u003ci\u003egaoqiao\u003c\/i\u003e, handkerchiefs, fans, and red silks, as interfaces during the dance composition process enacted within computational system environments. Insights are derived from full-length dance works created by the author: \u003ci\u003eX-Body \u003c\/i\u003e(2018), \u003ci\u003eMourning for a dead moon \u003c\/i\u003e(2019), \u003ci\u003eUnexpected Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e (2020) and \u003ci\u003eBeing River\u003c\/i\u003e (2024). This volume grapples with pertinent cultural and artistic questions including how Chineseness contributes to the process of techno-choreography, how technology affects the embodiment of Chineseness, and what Chineseness might be in the context of techno-choreography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be indispensable for scholars and practitioners across disciplines such as dance, theatre, performance, music, and human–computer interaction, as well as for those enthralled by technology-imbued compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55379967705432,"sku":"9781032979571","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032979571_d42c047c-8ce9-4837-9c44-edb464df2e5b.jpg?v=1778673682","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dancing-chineseness-and-techno-choreography","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
