My next interview from the series of Cognitive of the Performative programme by Centre for Drama Art aka cdu was made during the Workshop with Choreographic Objects that I attended in December, guided by Scott deLahunta.

For years he’s been advocating for creating software tools for choreographers from the environment of emerging new technologies.
