[Chapter-delegates] Webcast: Creating Participatory Learning Through Performance - Oct 15 2011 1pm EDT 1700 UTC

[Joly MacFie]

ISOC-NY President David Solomonoff is always ready to explore innovative and
interesting aspects of Internet activity. On Saturday he will be (in his own
words, “in my first live performance since dinosaurs were killed by the
giant comet”) providing musical accompaniment for an online improvisational
performance workshop as part of the Mobilty Shifts
Conference<http://bit.ly/mshifts> at
NYC’s New School.

The workshop, *Creating Participatory Learning Through
Performance<http://mobilityshifts.org/workshops/josephine-dorado/>
*, organized by Josephine Dorado, will focus on improvisational performance
as a framework for online collaboration and distributed learning, leveraging
the affordances of shared virtual world space towards immediate
collaboration, thereby creating richer online rapport and an optimal
environment for participatory learning. Through task-based performance games
inside a virtual world, the students in Josephine Dorado’s Collaboration in
Networked Environments class at the New School will participate as
performers and will connect with remote participants/performers at a
partnering Internet Society event in Philadelphia, weaving a theatrical
performance together that encourages active listening and interaction,
allowing participants to instantly connect and cooperate, regardless of
geographical location or previous experience with digital media or
performance. The performance will be followed by a Q&A in which the
performative elements and their relation to online collaboration will be
explained along with feedback from student participants. After that, the
audience will have an opportunity to ‘embody’ an avatar and participate in
an impromptu dance, thereby experiencing the immediacy and connection.

It is possible to attend in person, or via Second Life<http://secondlife.com/>,
and the event will be webcast via the Internet Society Chapters Webcasting
Channel <http://bit.ly/isoctv>.
