< 关于论坛 >

从沉浸式电子游戏到创意广告，虚拟现实预示着未来的潮流。而当代舞蹈作为一种现场表演艺术，也在积极探索自身表达的边界。与此同时，当代舞因其非叙事性也成为了新影像技术与艺术探索的理想领域。虚拟现实所代表的技术开辟了3D舞蹈创新探索的新境地。然而，面临自身的技术壁垒和来自受众的限制，虚拟现实能够成为当代舞蹈的未来方向吗？

编舞/舞蹈家/导演

吉尔·乔宾以舞蹈探索身心关系，他的编舞主题多围绕着对个体身份的探索。他热衷于运用技术手段再现甚至增强当代舞蹈的独特体验，认为新技术可以复制甚至增强当代舞蹈独特的现场体验，为当代舞蹈提供了全新的3D视角。2015年，他获得了瑞士联邦委员会颁发的瑞士舞蹈大奖。吉尔·乔宾还在2016年制作了电影《WOMB》，随后又为双人舞 FORCA FORTE 制作了虚拟影像。他与虚拟现实技术团队Artanim合作推出了VR_I。除了创作之外，他还通过舞者培训、教育活动、研讨会、艺术驻留，将自己的编舞团队在日内瓦的总部发展成了推广瑞士舞蹈并促进国际交流的前沿阵地。吉尔·乔宾经常受邀于欧洲核子研究所、伦敦AA建筑学院、巴黎Femis电影学院等国际机构担任演讲嘉宾。

< About the Roundtable >

From immersive video games to innovative advertisement, virtual reality has the potential to be the wave of the future. Contemporary dance, a sub-category of live entertainment, is also at the helm exploring VR’s uncharted territory. Because of its non-narrative form, contemporary dance offers an ideal field for the artistic exploration of new imaging technologies—technologies that open an innovative field of exploration for 3D dancing. However, with the technology barrier and the limits on audience engagement, can virtual reality really be the future of contemporary dance?
