At the dawn of the 21st century, the realm of movement and mobility extends beyond conventional limits as it welcomes a new collaborator: robots.
Kinematic/Kinesthetic is a groundbreaking work by Axis Dance Company that integrates emerging and existing technologies to expand movement potential for both disabled and non-disabled dancers. AXIS Dance Company pushes the boundaries of dance technology through the use of dynamic mobility devices, including telescoping crutches and robotic hexapod legs developed by engineering students at Carnegie Mellon and University of Maryland working with multidisciplinary artist Ben Levine.
Dr. Catie Cuan, a choreographer, dancer, and roboticist, intertwines human creativity with mechanical precision, not only transforming the artistic landscape but also influencing the world of disability.
Stay after the performance for a post-show conversation led by Sydney Skybetter, director of Brown Arts Institute and associate professor of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies (TAPS).
Watch Dr. Cuan’s TED Talk, Next up for AI? Dancing robots.
