This is a Collaborative dance programme that's a process in which artistic colleagues work jointly towards developing a successful production that aspires to PAX vision . This is achieved by the merging of ideas and pooling of resources. We are mainly interested in 2 aspects : 1. Mobility of creations - where dance companies exchange their creations and performances with each other for a faster and more economic way of sharing choreographies with the publics 2.Exploration of the Tele-immersive dance (TED) to bridge cultural, societal, and geographic gaps in the quest of making collaborative art. The TEEVE Project (Tele-immersive Environment for EVErybody), a research project from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of California, Berkeley, is an immersive 3D video conferencing system with applications for dance. From the site's video page, you can watch the video: "TEEVE: New Digital Options for Collaborative Dance in Geographically Distributed Tele-immersive Spaces." While TED is still in its infancy, we believe it will have an interesting future and we aim to adopt it as a showcase for collaborative performances in our target cities. PAX09 in South Africa will feature a showcase of TED in partnership with the University of Illinois' Dance Department.
