This project group is taking participants through the process of creating one or more live collaborative performance pieces integrally involving digital media and digital enablers. Through the three-quarter process, we are carrying the works from conception to scripting, to the design and integration of the digital media, to actual performance in such a way that the media not only supports the performances but motivates them from within. Plays, for example, are created in which the media serve not only as support, but also act as a “performer” in the presentation. The digital media actually help drive the plot of such a play.

The only hope for redress lies in the hands of three courageous women working out of a cybernetics lab in northern Mexico.
