Projecting Performance was a collaboration between performance academics and digital technologists. The project focused on the choreographic and scenographic exchange between dancers and projected digital images within a theatrical context. It questioned processes of performance and perceived boundaries between performers and technologists, promoting dialogues in iterative cycles of creative development. The research addressed these issues at different levels:- What defines relationships between the performer-dancer, the projected image and the performer-operator?- What methodologies might be used for the engagement of performance academics and digital technologists in effective collaborative research?Projected digital images are widely employed in theatrical productions today, but their use is frequently constrained either to pre-recorded footage with the performer as strictly-timed soloist, or though computer-controlled interactions where the performer needs to trigger the technology. This project investigated a new set of interrelationships between performer, projection and technical operator, where the operator also becomes a 'performer' both controlling and being spontaneously present in the digital image on stage. The stage-performer interacts with the off-stage operator, who simultaneously sees, controls and 'performs' the projected image in the stage 'picture'. The expressive nature of thedigital image concentrates the quality of the operator's movement through abstract forms that are choreographed with the stage performer.Work that directly integrates performance and technologist in both process and performance is still rare. Collaborative methods that facilitate such integration deserve further exploration for the combined benefit of both academic and professional communities. Through this research, we identified some underlying processes of our work as collaborators from the fields of performance and new technologies, within the context of the performance research laboratory. How did our working practices complement each other, and where did we need to compromise or find alternative approaches?The findings from this research project have critical implications for relationships between humans and technology in 21st century choreography and scenography. The dialogue between performance and technology in this research has exposed and developed further methodologies for collaborative research.

Projecting Performance是性能学者和数字技术专家之间的合作。该项目的重点是舞蹈家和投影数字图像在戏剧背景下之间的舞蹈和场景交换。它质疑表演过程以及表演者和技术人员之间的界限，促进创造性发展迭代周期中的对话。该研究在不同层面上解决了这些问题：-什么定义了表演者-舞者，投影图像和表演者-操作者之间的关系？什么方法可以用来让性能学者和数字技术专家参与有效的合作研究？投影的数字图像在今天的戏剧制作中被广泛使用，但它们的使用经常被限制在预先录制的片段中，表演者作为严格定时的独奏者，或者通过计算机控制的交互，表演者需要触发技术。该项目研究了表演者，投影和技术操作员之间的一系列新的相互关系，其中操作员也成为一个“表演者”，既控制又自发地出现在舞台上的数字图像中。舞台表演者与台下的操作者互动，台下的操作者同时看到、控制和“表演”舞台“画面”中的投影图像。数字图像的表现性本质通过与舞台表演者一起编排的抽象形式集中了操作者运动的质量。在过程和表演中直接结合表演和技术人员的工作仍然很少见。为了学术界和专业界的共同利益，应进一步探讨促进这种融合的协作方法。通过这项研究，我们确定了我们的工作的一些基本过程，从性能和新技术领域的合作者，在性能研究实验室的背景下。我们的工作实践如何相互补充，我们需要在哪些方面妥协或寻找替代方法？这项研究项目的发现对21世纪世纪舞蹈和舞台设计中人类与技术之间的关系具有重要意义。在这项研究中，性能和技术之间的对话已经暴露并开发了进一步的合作研究方法。
