Walking into this panel, one would have expected a round-robin discussion amongst the five panelists about new technologies that incorporate dance and tech, yet the panel consisted of an advanced discussion about two projects.

The first project in cooperation with the Guerrilla Dance Project was the Rolling Stones, and the second project was Danceroom-Spectroscopy, which is supported by the University of Bristol.

The Rolling Stones are fiberglass balls that with every movement and motion create a sound. Dancers in the Guerrilla Dance Project are using these balls to create music with motion and incorporating technology with dance differently than previous methods.

Michael Bickerton said collaboration between dancers and tech was an important to the development of the technology, and the technology needs to be equally creative for both the technology side and the dancer and artist side.

The other project presented was Danceroom-Spectroscopy, which uses 3-D cameras to project energy fields of people on to a large screen and allows an infinite number of users to interact with the technology and with one another in order to create different visualizations on the screen.

Danceroom-Spectroscopy does not require any type of controller and uses a persons actual physical movements as the controller and allows for as many users as the space of the room will hold.
