This book delves into the embodiment of Chineseness in digital performance, utilising the innovative methodology of 'techno-choreography.' This research critically examines professionally trained dancing bodies in Chinese dance from the vantage point of cultural transexperience. It offers profound discussions of Chineseness through an unprecedented lens, advancing a suite of choreographic tools beneficial for both academic and practical inquiries. The methodology of techno-choreography employed draws from theories as well as applications of interactivity, immersion, virtual reality, and motion capture systems. It perceives intercultural dancing bodies and cultural artefacts, such as chopsticks, gaoqiao , handkerchiefs, fans, and red silks, as interfaces during the dance composition process enacted within computational system environments. Insights are derived from full-length dance works created by the author: X-Body (2018), Mourning for a dead moon (2019), Unexpected Bodies (2020) and Being River (2024). This volume grapples with pertinent cultural and artistic questions including how Chineseness contributes to the process of techno-choreography, how technology affects the embodiment of Chineseness, and what Chineseness might be in the context of techno-choreography. This book will be indispensable for scholars and practitioners across disciplines such as dance, theatre, performance, music, and human-computer interaction, as well as for those enthralled by technology-imbued compositions.
