At its core, it will advocate for the unique experiences and expertise dancers acquires as the embodied agents within these new performance paradigms. By presenting a series of empirical case studies in Extended Reality (XR), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, the book will forefront the important knowledge of the dancer-as-experiencer and highlights their growing sensibilities as a key attribute for the successful development of human-computer connections. Whilst digital performance has a comprehensive and rich heritage, there is still a lack of material that explores how such paradigm-shifts are influencing the embodied acts of creation in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKerry Francksen is a dance artist and researcher with over twenty years’ experience in academia and the creative industries.
