Kick-off Acting Like a Robot postponed

Best wishes

You are cordially invited to the festive kick-off the new research project Acting Like a Robot: Theatre as Testbed for the Robot Revolution.

Acting Like a Robot brings together robot developers and experts from the theatre (practitioners and scholars) to develop innovative approaches to the design of the behavior of robots and the interaction between humans and robots. This project also investigates the potential of the theatre for imagining future scenarios for living with robots and how current developments in robotics open new terrain for explorations by theatre-makers.

Acting Like a Robot is a collaboration between Utrecht University (Theatre Studies/ research group Transmission in Motion), de Vrije Universiteit (AI/robotics), de Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Utrecht (Performative Creation processes), theatre company Ulrike Quade Company and SPRING Performing Arts Festival. This project is financially supported by NWO (SMART Culture ClSC.KC.205)

Timeline: Introduction of the project and our plans by Maaike Bleeker (UU), Koen Hindriks (VU) and Ulrike Quade (Ulrike Quade Company). Followed by drinks.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
