The first and only book to focus on dance on the Internet; Sita Popatrsquo;s fascinating Invisible Connections examines how Internet and communication technologies offer dance and theatre new platforms for creating and performing work; and how opportunities for remote interaction and collaboration are available on a scale never before imaginable.Drawing upon the work of practioners and theorists in the arts; communications and technology theorists and ; Invisible Connections makes special reference to Popatrsquo;s series of Internet-based choreography projects from with online communities around the globe; and explores:* methods by which such technologies can facilitate creative collaborations between performers and viewers* how sharing creative processes between online communities can enrich the artistic palette and provide arts-based learning* how the Cartesian duality of the mind-body split is challenged by the physicality of dancing and choreography together online.With its dual aspect approach; from the author as an artist/researcher and the appendix being written by a software designer; the historical perspective on performance on the internet coupled with the writing makes this a must read book for any student of performance; dance or communication studies.

The book is easy to read for beginners and does not require a PhD in music theory or computer science to understand. The colorful diagrams and explanations are a joy and super helpful. I do wish the author had some workshop tutorials to create a basic score or soundtrack as a captone even to the book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An Excellent Resource For Those Learning AbletonBy A. WashingtonI love the simplicity and the clarity with which the content is presented. The written and visual (pictures) make this book very easy to learn from. The content has some significant depth to it but is also excellent for beginners. This book does not replace the manual but in term of practical knowledge and application its A-1. For beginners I suggest a slowly paced journey through the book from start to finish. Not rushing and enjoying and digesting what is explored in this book will help you move slowly but deliberately to mastery of this very powerful DAW. If your not a newbie then cherry picking what you want to focus and learn is great also.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerGreat book for beginners.
