DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: How to capture the ephemeral movement of the body ha
 s drawn \nincreased methodological interest from scholars and practitioner
 s working \nacross the arts\, humanities and social sciences. Promising \n
 interdisciplinary collaborations are emerging through the shared use of \n
 technologies including dance notation and motion capture. The increased \n
 affordability of movement capture technologies including Microsoft Kinect 
 \nand Nintendo Wii are expanding possibilities for arts and social science
  \nresearch. But education research has tended to overlook body movement a
 s \nteaching and learning can be often conceptualised through cerebral\, o
 ptic\, \nand linguistic frames of reference. In this talk\, I will themati
 cally \nanalyse interdisciplinary movement capture collaborations and disc
 uss \nopportunities for education research.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER: Dr. Denm
 ead is a Research Assistant in the School of \nMedia at the University of 
 Lincoln. He received his PhD in Education from \nthe University of Cambrid
 ge. His doctoral research examined creative\, \ncommunity-based collaborat
 ions between artists and families. Prior to \ngraduate school\, Denmead wa
 s the founding executive director of New Urban \nArts\, a non-profit organ
 isation founded in 1997 to build a vital learning \ncommunity in a storefr
 ont studio that empowers young people to develop \nlifelong creative pract
 ices. First Lady Michelle Obama recognised New Urban \nArts as one of the 
 premiere arts and youth development programs in the \nUnited States during
  a 2008 ceremony at The White House.\n\n
