This is also a fantastic opportunity to work with Joumana Mourad, Artistic Director of IJAD Dance Company who have been integrating new technology since it was set up in 1999. She is the pioneer of 'sensography' which explores how the emotional and interpretive intensity of a live performance can be transmitted digitally without losing integrity.
