Technology in creative practice and the performances of Polish contemporary dance artists

Communications technologies constantly shape one’s ways of using the body and one’s perceptual-cognitive habits. The art of dance allows us to inspect how the body and technology co-mingle, to try out new connections, and to elaborate on the borders of cultural approval of change. Involving technologies in creative practice and in performances is becoming a more and more common practice. Contemporary dance artists not only use electronic and digital tools, but also take over some mechanisms that allow them to transform the audience’s experiences developed in the area of new communications technologies.
