Want to Stay Ahead Of The Game?: **First you need to know the rules and how to break them… Make and Do in collaboration with Project Arts Centre and DATA 2.0 will host a two-day investigation into performance, technology and play. Supported by the British Council. In an increasingly digitised world, where do we look for meaning and how do we express this? How can artists, performers and urban play designers respond to and express these changes? What happens when the space that we work in is constantly shifting? Who are the players and what game are we really playing?

To explore these questions we have invited international artists Duncan Speakman Duncan Speakman and Peter Petralia from Proto-type Peter Petralia to lead workshops in locative play, urban and digital games and interactive performance.

The workshops are aimed at professional theatre-makers, performers, digital artists and game designers/creators who wish to explore the boundaries of live performance, technology, and interactive games.

Duncan Speakman is a Bristol based artist who creates work that physically and emotionally engages audiences in public spaces. He employs walking as both a process and/or outcome in the work. In recent years he has created pre-recorded audio walks, generative GPS-based experiences, live performance using locative media content, and games for public spaces. Duncan was involved in the creation of the hugely successful iphone game, Papa Sangre. Find out more about Duncan on his website.

Dr. Peter S Petralia is a producer, director, writer, curator and artistic director of Proto-type Theater. With Proto-type, he has written over a dozen full-length performance works that have premiered in New York City, North Carolina, the United Kingdom, Romania and Amsterdam. Peter is Senior Lecturer in Drama and Theatre in the Department of Contemporary Arts at MMU Cheshire. Find out more about Proto-type on their website.

DATA will also host DATA 47.0, a free event in conjunction with these workshops on the evening of the 28th of July in the Science Gallery, with talks and presentations on the theme of technology and performance by Duncan Speakman and Teresa Dillon.**

DATA EVENT 47.0 is supported by The Science Gallery
