Introduction

Augmented Organism Project
The Augmented Organism Project (Cy Gorman and Jazmyne Geis (USA) explore immersive ‘environmental dance’ filmmaking. Movement and its relations to identity with its many developments and outcomes, connecting with landscapes, waterways, weather patterns, and currents and flows involved in navigating a space— working in a relationship that is both internal with the spirit and voice of the land, and external in the global context of events (the stage) within which the land speaks.
This project investigates how “dance” provocatively (re)interrogates and (re)conceptualizes fundamental questions about region, nation, and location, as well as their symbolic representations. This includes studies of both emerging and preexisting creative practices and theorization.
AUGORG is in consideration of issues affecting identity and geopolitics across lands and waters as well as across the global and regional— celebrating and interrogating the connecting, mediating and negotiating power of creative practices, as well as the shifting relationships and pedagogies of integrating dance, film, interdisciplinary design, and technologically creative storytelling.
