Isadora Creative Space - Berlin
-
Dear All,
OK, it's confirmed for November 4th from 6pm to 12am.Here's the announcement------**Isadora Creative Space - November 4th, 6pm - 12am / 18h - 00h**On Monday, November 4th, Mark Coniglio and TroikaTronix will host the **_Isadora Creative Space_** – the first of a series of regularly scheduled gatherings that will be held in Berlin, Germany. Our purpose is to create a roving "pop-up" workspace that will bring together the local community of media artists and designers in a spirit of creativity, generosity and craftsmanship. While we expect that those in attendance will primarily be users of Isadora, anyone who uses interactive digital technology in the creation of live performance is welcome to attend.If you are able to join us, please please bring yourself, your laptop, and an idea on which you'd like to work or an outcome you'd like to share. Within an informal atmosphere we will work individually on our projects so that the entire community can benefit from – and be inspired by – our individual expertise and creativity. You should also bring your know-how and willingness to share techniques, tools and tips with the others in attendance. In this way, we will begin to form a network of like-minded artists and designers in the Berlin area, which is ultimately the purpose of these gatherings.One personal note: the Isadora Creative Space is your chance for a focused, personal consultation with me. While I will be quite happy to give assistance and technical help to those who need it, please keep in mind that I also will be there to work on my own project just like the rest of you. Instead,This first meeting will take place at the wonderful [Alte Kantine](http://alte-kantine-wedding.de/kontakt/) in the Wedding area of Berlin. (The space is bit "tucked away" in the Uferhalle complex; we will have signs out to help you find your way once you arrive.)The following equipment will be on hand for the participants to share:- One large and two smaller video projectors.
- VGA Cables to connect laptops to the projectors
- Tables and chairs
- Power Outlets
- Sound System (only one to be shared.)
If you need anything else, then you need to bring it with you.The final point is that I planned to give a short talk on some Isadora specific topic at the beginning of the meeting – no more than 45 minutes. I'd like to hear from those who might be there what you might like me to talk about. Please post your ideas here.I look forward to seeing some of you there.All the Best,Mark**_ISADORA CREATIVE SPACE_**Monday, 4th November 2013, 6pm - 12am / 18h - 00hAlte Kantine Wedding Uferhallen Kulturwerkstatt Uferstrasse 8-11 13357 Berlin -
P.S. I'm sorry for the short duration between confirming the space and the actual event. We're working on the December and January dates now, so you'll all have plenty of warning.

Cool! Booked the flight and hotel. If there is someone about 17:00 coming near the airport berlin tegel or another central point and would be so kind to take me with the car, that would be great.
Looking forward,Alex -
Dear Alex,
It's a pretty quick trip from Tegel to the space.http://www.bvg.de/index.php/en/index.htmlYou want to go from Flughafen Tegel to Uferstr 8.Best Wishes,Mark -

Sorry to say that I can't manage to make it. Hopefully sometime in the future things will work out better for me.

Sorry I can't make it either. Busy at work and my wife is also recovering from surgery at the minute.
Hope it goes well and I will try and make the next one :) -
Dear Mark,
As you mentioned to post ideas for your talk: I would be interested how you see the role/possiblities of Interactivity and Isadora in the past, now and the future.All the best,Alex -

I attended the meeting on the 4th Nov and I have to say it was extremely interesting and very useful. Rather than veering towards a solely Isadora problem-solving session, it embraced an excellent and enlightening discussion on interactivity in the performaning arts and other topics. The question of motion tracking was addressed with some interesting conceptual ideas on what is it you really want to track. I work with interactive dance and have more of an emphasis on sound design emanating from movement - with an emphasis on rhythm extraction (where exactly is the rhythm in the dance?!). Mark's expertise and experience in the performing arts is a very valuable asset to this forum!! Thanks Mark!
Overall, it was very fulfilling and I will hopefully return to Berlin for the next meeting. (I could potentially host a meeting here in Bremen if needed).
My main areas of focus are: Interactive Dance, Live Generative Visuals, Sound Design & Composition (all done with MAX/MSP). If anyone needs some support with live interactive performance, generative visuals or interactive composition, I would be happy to be involved..... :)
Have fun!
Aidan
