GT Tech Arts’ Festival is pleased to present, Extension of Self: a dance between human and digital, a physically integrated movement workshop and film screening with Full Radius Dance dancing within and responding to the Extension of Self exhibit. Our identities are complex and full of multiplicities. All artists and dancers question the role that digital technology plays while integrating it into their work to create interactive and expressive art.

Full Radius Dance is a physically integrated dance company based in Atlanta Georgia. The company is committed to redefining the boundaries of dance through performance, education, and advocacy, and constantly seeks opportunities to promote its core values for body positivity. Full Radius Dance believes that your body is perfect, has undiscovered movement, and can experience dance. Choreographer Douglas Scott leads a team of eight dancers, AK Bayer, Vic Davis, Jr., Julianna Feracota, Jodie Jernigan, Courtney Michelle McClendon, Ashlee Jo Ramsey-Borunov, Matthew Smith, Peter L. Trojic.

Curator and Principal Investigator Birney Robert features six artists, Chanell Angeli, Eve Brown, Emma Chammah, Ashutosh Dhekne, Bojana Ginn, and Noura Howell in the exhibit Extension of Self: what it means to be human in a digital world. Full Radius Dance dances within this exhibits at the intersection of art, science, technology, and accessibility.
