The Premiere project employs interdisciplinary practices across four areas: archives browsing, live performances, rehearsals, and digitally enhanced creation.
The round table “Extended Stages and Performing Practices” will include a discussion among participants about the possibilities of AI, XR, and 3D technologies for extending the performing arts stages, interdisciplinary creation and digital engagement of audiences.
The event invites creators, performing arts professionals, and researchers in France to join and engage in the discussion.
- How are the performing arts related to state-of-the-art technologies
- What can they offer, and what do they hope to gain?
- What is the shape and quality of a stage that integrates digital practices?
- What are the major challenges for artists working at the intersection of art and technology?
These questions will be explored in the interdisciplinary exercise conducted by the Premiere project with research centers, performing art venues, and educational institutions. The common goal is to transfer knowledge and tools from technology to the arts through four use cases that address the core of the performing arts lifecycle: production, curation, delivery, and distribution.
The round table will present the latest outcomes from sector representatives, highlighting their inputs and challenges.
A demo of SPIRITUS MUNDI XR choreography, created by Gwendaline Bachini, will be showcased during the PREMIERE Round Table in Saint-Étienne on October 14, 2024, with XR headsets and visualization tools. The performance was recorded using a setup of GoPro cameras to enable 3D reconstruction of the dancers’ movements and trajectories on stage.
