Salon NOTEBOOK: Dance + Technology: What is Happening NOW? By Zachary Whittenburg Two conversations merged at the Chicago Cultural Center May 4. Since January, the Chicago Artists Resource/Department of Cultural Affairs series of At Work Forums have included four dedicated to dance, panel discussions on outside-of-the-studio issues like audience development and critical dialogue. Meanwhile, as you know, Chicago Dancemakers Forum has assessed the relationship between dance and technology since February, through Silverspace Salons with Grisha Coleman, Mark Jeffery, Judd Morrissey and Allison Peters Quinn. Expanding the conversation even further was an excellent run of tech-related events and performances presented by the Dance Center of Columbia College during the same three-month period. How dance is changing--and being changed by--our webbed world is on many Chicagoans' minds; the panel did fine work both prompting new questions on the subject, and putting this unofficial summit in perspective.
