TEDxColumbus - Norah Zuniga Shaw - 10/20/09

"Animating Choreography"

Artist and researcher Norah Zuniga Shaw pushes the boundaries of whats possible in interdisciplinary collaboration and research driven by creative goals and ideas. In her talk, she will show an array of animations and information graphics that issue forth from the choreographic thinking of her collaborator, the celebrated choreographer William Forsythe. Working with a team of artists and scientists, Zuniga Shaws projects unlock the deep structures in choreography and mine them for lessons pertinent to the complexity of contemporary life.

Part dancer, part scientist, Norah Zuniga Shaw and her collaborators create dynamic new interdisciplinary manifestations of ideas that originate in dance. She is at the forefront of innovation in interdisciplinary research and collaboration.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
