This is a first conference of its kind in the UK to closely discuss a spectrum of digital arts practices linked with the Somatic, the body and dance. Through keynote presentations, papers, roundtable discussions led by keynote speakers, a series of workshops and an art exhibit, the conference offers the opportunity for both practical and theoretical understanding of its theme. The conference is hosted by the University of Chichester, with its unique woodland setting, spacious facilities and relaxed atmosphere, and will take place on Saturday 23rd June, preceded by a Working Groups day on Friday 22nd June. Renowned contact improvisation practitioner Nancy Stark Smith will be conducting The Global Underscore, an annual event during which dancers at many sites around the world practice the Underscore simultaneously.
