Isadora Guru Session #21: Dance-Tech Archaeology!

Session Start: 4:52

Mark Coniglio gives us a glimpse into long ago, showing the innovative technology he handcrafted with Dawn Stoppiello to fuel the works of their dance company Troika Ranch (http://troikaranch). From "SandyCam" to "MidiDancer", you'll see and hear how these devices allowed them to translate the organic into the electronic, and helped to shape the future of dance and technology.
