Community Engagement

The poster below, which I presented at the NASA HRP IWS Conference in February 2024, gives an overview of many of my recent community engagement projects.  It may take a few seconds to load the poster:

This article is about a collaboration with Brooke Stanton where we had an initial exploration of bringing my research on sensory augmentation from the lab into the world of fashion and dance.  

I'll be hosting a few events where we use these devices during dance (no experience required). If you are interested in participating/collaborating, definitely let me know. I"ll also announce these events in my newsletter and if you want to receive my newsletter, let me know too!  

Fashion, Dance and Science

The article below provides an overview of this project. 

Fashion, Science and Identity

This is in collaboration with Nellie Theroux who is a fashion designer and teacher and is part of a larger project on Fashion and Identity To see the full write up on the Fashion, Science and Identity project, click on this link. 

Human Augmentation and Dance

The video below provides an overview of a project I am exploring on creating devices that enhance the feeling of oneness during dance.  I am also exploring how to bring technology into sacred spaces. 

I gave this talk (video below)  to a group of dancers, showing how my research in spatial disorientation, space exploration and human augmentation can be relevant to exploring movement and dance.
