AIM AND SCOPE
------------------------------------------------------
The webinar Robots on the stage - Fostering interdisciplinary convergences between robotics and theatre aims to open a common research ground on human-machine interactions and their dramaturgical potential by encouraging the reflection on shared questions and on similar theoretical concepts among international researchers and practitioners from both disciplines. The interdisciplinary crossing of views on specific theatrical performances that question the robotic presence on stage is also at the heart of the proposed approach. Rather than focusing mainly on aesthetics, the webinar analyzes the stage interactions, the creative processes and the collaborations between artists and engineers through the conceptual tools of theatre studies, social robotics, cognitive sciences, psychology and neurosciences. Thus, this monthly webinar, started in March 2021, aims to provide an opportunity for encounters and debates, which are constituting the base to build a common vocabulary for robotics and the performing arts.
