MovingStories is an interdisciplinary, collaborative research partnership leading to the design and application of more richly articulated human movement knowledge within digital technology interaction. The research institutional partners include Simon Fraser University (SFU), The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), The Laban Institute of Movement Studies in New York (LIMS), Emily Carr University of Art and Design (ECUAD), The University of British Columbia Theater Department (UBC) and Credo Interactive.This partnership focuses on designing digital tools for movement, meaning and interaction investigated through the intersection of three unique domains: laban movement analysis, digital interaction technologies, and social and cultural applications and outcomes. MovingStories supports an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to redesigning digital technologies based on overlapping yet differentiated epistemological approaches to understanding movement.
Within MovingStories I am involved in a variety of projects including:
- Defining, Developing and Validating Movement Frameworks for Research Directions
- Exploring New Approaches to Methodologies for Experiential and Movement Data
- Creating and Collaborating on Design Criteria for Digital Technologies Relating to Movement
- Developing and Executing Studies to Test Technology Design
- Strategic Planning for Research Design and Implementation
- Administrative Duties such as Grantwriting, Budgeting, Ethics Acquision, HR and Production Management
