e-Dancing:
embodied practice in the virtual research environment
Helen Bailey, Artistic Director Ersatz DancePrincipal Lecturer in Dance
University of Bedfordshire, UK
July 2007 AHDS Performing Arts 2007
introduction
• An exploration of the use of virtual reality, stereoscopic video and the Access Grid in performance
• Discussion of how virtual research environments enable new forms of practice through the development of new research methods.
• Contribute new knowledge and understandings to the debates concerning documentation of creative process and virtual embodiment in performance.

introduction
The Stereobodies project: • a collaborative interdisciplinary research project• dance and e-Science • CSAGE (Collaborative Stereoscopic Access
Grid Environment) Virtual Research Environment (VRE) project funded by the Joint Information Services Council (JISC) at the University of Manchester, UK.

implications for practice-led research
• Methodological development• New compositional approaches• Documentation and analysis of process• Re-thinking the AG ‘physical’ environment
July 2007 AHDS Performing Arts 2007
future research• Relocating Choreographic Process: The
Impact of Collaborative Memory and Grid Technologies on Practice-led Research in Dance
• Funded by an AHRC-EPSRC-JISC e-Science grant• Universities of Bedfordshire, Leeds, Manchester
and the Open University• Two-year research project Sept 2007 – Sept 2009
July 2007 AHDS Performing Arts 2007
Questions:
• What unique opportunities does the distributed Access Grid environment provide for developing new approaches to choreographic composition and process and within this context how can we find new, appropriate and meaningful methodologies for capturing and modelling practice-led research?
• How can choreographic knowledge and sensibility help to shape e-Science practice to make its applications more usable within the field of performance arts practice-led research as well as the broader Arts and Humanities context?
