Troika Ranch

Troika Ranch
October 3

This was a session that was told by Dawn Stoppiello. During her lecture, she spoke about the different things that have been going on with dance and technology nowadays. For instance how they use motion which triggers sounds. It was quite interesting. Some of the sounds were MIDI along with certain motion control sensors. Her project, Troika Ranch, was created by her and her partner Mark Coniglio during their college days. Most of the lecture dealt with technology, modern dance and telecommunications.

Overall I thought this was an interesting event to attend. It was ok, and it just showed me how much technology has come and how it continues to advance throughout the years. Anytime things start evolving with motion to sound to dance -- its the new age, and although it is still experimental, we'll continue to evolve more and more complex along with technology.
