Sarah Fdili Alaoui & John Sullivan: For Patricia

In the organizer's words:

For Patricia is a tribute to one of the inventors of postmodernism in dance: Trisha Brown. Just as Trisha Brown explored new choreographic structures such as accumulation, repetition or inversion, Sarah Fdili Alaoui & John Sullivan explore new choreographic and compositional structures generated by AI. Each performance creates a new piece in which dancers and musicians perform a new score, guided by the AI. The piece is a quartet between two dancers, Sarah Fdili Alaoui and Bartosz Ostrowski, and two musicians, John Sullivan (piano and electronics) and Léo Chédin (percussion and electronics).

Sarah Fdili Alaoui is a researcher, choreographer and dancer. She is a professor at the University of the Arts London in the fields of human-computer interaction, interaction design, dance and technologies. John Sullivan is an interaction designer, researcher and musician. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Paris-Saclay, where his research focuses on multimodal interaction design and the development of new technologies for music, dance and multimedia performance.
