Excited to see our chapter; Cassandra in PythiaDelpine21: Oracles, Cyborgs and the Tragedy of Cassandra, included in this new book out in November 2022. 

Adopting an innovative and theoretical approach, Greek Tragedy and the Digital is an original study of the encounter between Greek tragedy and digital media in contemporary performance. 

Drawing on cutting-edge productions and theoretical debates on performance and the digital, this collection considers issues including performativity, liveness, immersion, intermediality, aesthetics, technological fragmentation, conventions of the chorus, theatre as hypermedia and reception theory in relation to Greek tragedy.
A long interview about our work with the Bodycoder System appears in this new title Body As Instrument  out in February 2022 (Bloomsbury).  The book explores how musicians interact with movement-controlled performance systems, producing sounds imbued with their individual physical signature. Interviews with influential artists in the field, Laetitia Sonami, Pamela Z, Julie Wilson-Bokowiec, Lauren Sarah Hayes, etc, expose the transformational impact of motion sensors on musicians' body awareness and abilities.  The book analyses how the body as instrument metaphor informs relationships between performers, their bodies and self-designed instruments. It also examines the role of experiential design strategies in developing robust and nuanced gestural systems that mirror a performer's movement habits, preferences and skills, inspiring new physical forms of musical communication and diverse musical repertoire.
Very proud to have some of our work included in this mighty anthology, skilfully assembled by Izabella Pluta. Published by PUR April 2022, and available on Amazon. French & English.

This anthology brings together writings by artists, accompanied by interviews with directors and performers working with technology in Europe, the United States, Canada and Japan. They evoke the major changes affecting the theatre, transforming it into a digital stage, as well as its transition to the post-digital. The collection offers sixty-five contributions devoted to the paradigms of theatre: time, space, dramaturgy, the actor, the spectator, the device and ultimately the creative process itself. These are raw testimonies coming from the experience of the set and are rarely archived.
