  1. Dance Handicap Technology Jitka Semotamová

  2. Abstract: • - Overview of contemporary dance groups with handicap • in Czech Republic • Presentation of project "Tanec a Handicap" • Comparison of domestic production in European context • Why and how can technology be used on the stage? • Presentation of project Catch (Madeira 2012) • - the use of Microsoft Kinect as a methodical tool • in dance classes

  3. Contemporary dance with disability in CZ - since 2001 in Brno – Cyranovy Boty - still associated with solidarity and regret, not with artistic expression Disadvantage: Advantage: Small country – easy communication between regions – development at a similar level It´s new but at a high level

  4. CZ:6 dance groups Brno: Cyrnovy boty (2001) www.cyranovyboty.cz Ostrava : Dance group of FilipSkála(2003) Bíláholubice(2006)www.bilaholubice.cz Praha: Freedom4 (2007) Vertedance(2012)www.vertedance.com Jilemnice: PATZ and T.I.K. Jilemnice (2008) Most common disability : cerebralpalsy (quadriplegic) Other: blind, paralysis after injury, amputation, mental handicap

  5. Festival Dance and handicap (CZ) www.tanecahandicap.cz - since 2010 every two years in Brno Idea - cooperation on one choreography by participating groups - exposition of photography from festival in Czech republic - presentation of individual work Advantage: unique project, dance groups participate in the organization, comparison of quality, reciprocal learning, motivation to improve… Disadvantage: hard to find wheelchair accessible and affordable theater in other regions, funds for reprises in other regions Nick - Semikization

  6. Dance with disabilities in EU Groups: - development depends on the interest in the region: in some long tradition up to 20 years (Axis, Candoco, AAAIDD) in others beginning , - in general: more interested => higher funding => possibility of professionalization - More dance groups with mental handicap – Down syndrome - work with others types of handicap: autism, fetal alcohol syndrome, behavioral disorderetc. - most popular groups often work only with light handicap Festivals: - many more (for example region Rhône Alpes FR vs. CZ => 5:1) - accessible theatres in all aspects Comparison EU vs. CZ CZ has great potential, but is limited by insufficient funds and interest.

  7. Dance, handicap and technology - natural combination - every handicap has different diagnostic => different work => different technology Use of technology in the choreography Rehabilitation - development of abilities visual element - educations aids (wheelchairs, crutches, holders, robots ...)- projection (film, Interactive animations, graphic effects) Technology as motivation: - independence - effort to develop movement ranges - not being afraid to try new things - involvement of paralyzed limbs - to coordinate the movement – development of accuracy - way to mediate a choreography to blind people (movement, sound. sensors)

  8. Effect, affordability and benefit ??? Exoskeleton £100.000

  9. Effect, affordability and benefit ??? Robotic suit £1,370 per month

  10. Effect, affordability and benefit ??? EyeWriter

  11. Effect , affordability and benefit ??? Robot - educational material for people with autism - expression of emotions

  12. Effect , affordability and benefit ??? The MotionComposer(DE) Surface editor and wireless physiological sensors by AlaineCrevoisier and Linga(CH)

  13. Effect, affordability and benefit ??? visualization

  14. Catch in Madeira the use of Microsoft Kinect as a methodical tool in dance classes CATCH – coordination ofassociations: Ciant (CZ), M2F (FR), CPAI (P) Residence in Madeira: Jitka Semotamová, Tomáš Mach AAAIDD www.aaaidd.com

  15. We have used two features of Kinect: • The depth image - we can distinguish objects in • front of camera according to their distances from Kinect. • Physical recognition system - Skeleton: • recognition of silhouette / human skeleton. • Kinect detects position of body joints in 3D. We have created principles of two methodics for disabled dancers.

  17. Methodic I. Kinect feature used: Skeleton Dedicated to: blind dancer Thanks to skeleton we can determine the position of a dancer on the stage (standing at the side, in the back, etc.). We have also created a system which plays sounds according to the orientation of the dancer. This system helps the blind dancer with orientation in space and also provides a sound information about another dancer. The methodic is at the beginning. Future development is needed.

  19. Methodic II. Feature used: The depth image Dedicated to: Down syndrome, etc. We have used the depth image to control an interactive projection. A computer program can detect movements of dancers in defined parts of the scene. Movements trigger a projection of video / animation. The use of interactive animations, which supports the development of physical motor skills, is appropriate for dancers with disorders of perception and attention. For example: Down syndrome, autistic, children with hyperactivity ADHD, fetal alcohol syndrome, etc. Attention of dancers is attracted to a movement on the projection, which is triggered only by proper executed body movements. The disabled dancer is led to exact body movements without paying attention to them. This is very effective method to develop physical potential of disabled dancers.

  20. Methodic II. We have started with creation of an animation aimed at developing basic dance motion characteristics: Imagination of force. We have also employed a principle of collaboration in animation called Labyrinth.
