THE DANCING BODY OF THE FUTURE – PART 2

Presented by Critical Path and ISEA2013 in partnership with Performance Space.
Carriageworks, 18 – 20th June, 2017

Since 2010 Paul Gazzola has been collaborating with French/UK artist Paul Granjon on EBEMU the Experimental Body Extension Manufacturing Unit, which premiered at Campbelltown Arts Centre in 2012. Through EBEMU, ideas about physical body extensions are explored and prototypes of Wearable Hybrid Body Augmentations, partly made from discarded materials, are constructed. EBEMU investigates the performativity of new human/machine relations and the emotional/physical states that are inherent within such new forms.

In 2012 Paul Gazzola began a series of choreographic investigations to explore these built prototypes as performance initiating devices.
