ABSTRACT






The primary purpose of this thesis was to develop an analysis of the contemporary artistic context, and more particularly, of dance, motivated by recent methodological and conceptual transformations in dance creation and production, with the introduction of new digital technologies.

Artists have, progressively more, perceived the cybernetic paradigm that has configured the contemporary society in which they live, with technological transformations resonating in arts, evoking, favouring, and revealing new “ways” of proceeding, as results of the junction of art and technology. 

The use of softwares for creating choreographies, for promoting communication and collaborative creation through network systems, and allowing for hybrid conceptualizations of dance concerts and of interactive systems, are some examples that help to illustrate the manners in which these new technological operations have been used by contemporary choreographers, included the author, that extend the concepts of space, time and body in dance.
