An anthology conceived and co-edited by Hilary Bergen, Eric Mullis, PhD Dance Student Benjamin Simon, and Sydney Skybetter, "Robot Theaters: Collisions in Performance and Social Robotics" has just been published by Routledge. 

 

"The idea for this anthology on the theatrical nature of robot performance and its social implications for art, industry, and the military came about from our panel at the 2022 Dance Studies Association Conference," says Simon. "It's chock-full of accounts by practicing artists and scholars that touch on choreorobotics, critical race studies, feminist media studies, research-creation methods, and more."
