Description: Actuator is a dance work about the meeting of human and machine. The piece seeks to explore our inborn tendency to view machines as living, even personal creatures. How quickly will we begin to sympathize with an industrial robot that dances along with a human - or seems to react to the person's gestures and movements?nnChoreography and programming: Thomas FreundlichnDance: Thomas Freundlich and ABB IRB 1600 industrial robotnLighting: Mia KivinennRobot and software: ABB OynTraining and technical
