Internet2.

Group Motion and Leni-Basso are currently involved in a collaborative
multi-media dance project .This project is funded by the Japan
Foundation , Dance Advance, Philadelphia, Arts Midwest, Ohio, The US

Pennsylvania and Montgomery County Community College, Pennsylvania,

 "Rondo" will premiere here in Pennsylvania in September of this year
and will hopefully be shown in Tokyo in the Fall of 2006 during the
'Dance Selection' Festival where Group Motion also performed in 2003.

During our final production week of "Rondo", September 14-19, we are
planning to have an Internet2 conference in which we will broadcast a
rehearsal of the piece live over the internet and have live discussion
and interactive exchange with a group of interested people in Tokyo.
It will be a wonderful opportunity for performers, critics, and lovers
of dance to be involved in an interactive and intercultural experience
that is taking advantage of advanced internet technology in a new way
as an educational and informational tool.<p>
Starting time 6 am Phila, 6 pm Tokyo<br>

There will be a designated facilitator and a translator ( tbd) on each side.
