Urgent (15 points) Think about how dance started, without any documentation and how it has evolved today. How has dance evolved and grown? How has technology facilitated its evolution? How has technology hindered its evolution. How do you use technology and dance?

Thank you

hope it helped

Explanation:

John Toenjes, associate professor, music director, and co director of undergraduate education at Illinois is changing the way audiences enjoy live performances by working with the understanding that audiences today are glued to their technology.

Under most circumstances, audience members at Krannert Center performances would silence and put away devices and cell phones. In several recent performances organized by John Toenjes, the audience is encouraged to keep their devices in hand and use them to interact with and even guide the action.

After watching the film Jurassic Park 2, Toenjes was perplexed. “I was surprised at how intently people were glued to their cell phones, even when something as interesting as this high action, special effects movie was on the screen,” said Toenjes. “That’s when something sparked. Something clicked!”

Toenjes wondered, if seeing famous actors, special stunts and effects, and computer-generated imagery (CGI) in films can’t keep audiences off of their phones, why fight that. Why not embrace it?

Toenjes began working for the Illinois Department of Dance in 2001, where he developed a passion for interactive dance. He decided he wanted to literally alternate reality for audiences and connect them to the performance by integrating the technology of their personal cell phones.

As Toenjes began to develop his ideas about interactivity and dance performance, he started to use a new custom mobile application. The app served as a game where audience members had to solve puzzles that led to clues. And each clue had a connection with the live contemporary dances.

For example, some of the clues identified the performer speaking key words and then led to that person’s photo in a portrait gallery. The audience was then instructed to take a selfie with them.

Another feature allowed the audience to solve a puzzle while watching a dance. This clue would reveal a way in which the audience could choose how the dancer would communicate next and therefore change the progression of the performance.

As the app evolved, the development team added more functionality, allowing audience members to be more involved than ever before with dance performances. Without any training in choreography, the audience was able to direct the performance by selecting their preferred order of dance pieces through the app. The video below shows an example of this technology in use.
