Janice Jones (Arts Education, University of Southern Queensland, Australia)A Senior Lecturer in Arts Education at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ), Australia, Janice is a digital explorer, artist, writer, storyteller and performer. Her recent community arts ventures include the 2015 exhibition of art works and digital voices of 32 young people in the Talk Up! WHADDUP Indigenous Youth Augmented Reality Art Exhibition. Her support of digital storytelling with Indigenous child care workers and a team of literacy educators over three months in 2015 supported the community of Kulila Indigenous Kindergarten, Toowoomba to use digital tools to create and share unique storybooks for children and families. These engagements build upon her early years as a platform poet with Commonword in Manchester; filming street performers in the USA during a 3 month Churchill Fellowship in the 1980s and upon her two years of work with Ojibwa artists and storytellers in Ontario and Quebec a decade later. Janice has 30 years’ international teaching experience world wide and she delights in having ‘survived and thrived’ during five tumultuous years with NextEd and the Global University Alliance: both were global start-up ventures putting universities online in the dot com boom. As an arts practitioner Janice has been invited by the University of Cambridge Creativities in Intercultural Arts Network in 2014 as a visiting scholar with the Pedagogy, Language, Arts and Culture in Education group, after well-attended seminars there and with the Faculty of Education at the University of Exeter in 2012. International and Australian keynotes and conference presentations highlight Janice’s passion for communities and the arts for deep and life-long learning. Her many publications and workshops on creativity and asset-based community development have inspired educators, arts practitioners and young people worldwide. Recent awards include funding for an Open Education site where Janice draws upon story and myth to make meaning across the arts: this USQ-funded project emphasises open sharing and re-purposing of arts content under a Creative Commons Share-Alike License.

Obioma Oji (University of Edinburgh, Scotland)
Obi is a researcher, tutor and design practitioner with interdisciplinary interests. Her research journey has led to practical and theoretical explorations of energy efficiency within an interior architecture and human behaviour context. Her methodological research experiments have included design studies and workshops that allow for personal sensory viewpoints to be explored through physical and verbal dialogues. Her object based explorations, in the form of a human gyroscope, has developed the concept of the sphere as a micro object linking to an idea of ‘implied space’. The aim of her research study would be to analyse maximisation of energy efficiency in the context of existing interior space. The justification of this project is the fact that in the UK, the existing building stock is considered the place where most energy efficiency gains need to be sought. The focus for these energy efficiency gains has been on the upgrading of the external building envelope. Planning and technical regulations as well as governmental grants aim to encourage energy suppliers and homeowners to upgrade their existing building; yet these are beset by obstacles. For example, the adequate specification of changes to the buildings’ envelope, visual changes to the exterior, and the disparity between tenant and homeowner investment in property. This research aims to modify the direction of these dialogues and present a new, alternative way of approaching the retrofitting of buildings emphasising the interior, rather than the exterior of a building and to disseminate these findings. The 'object in space' would connect to the idea of managing energy in interiors by being an intermediate membrane, an article, or circumstance, that fits between the realms of the exterior of a building and clothes. The object would aim to minimise energy use whilst maintaining an appropriate comfort level to the user by focusing on the space a human uses in a static or dynamic state. If clothes were considered intimate space and the bounds of a room social space this study would endeavour to look at developing the concept of personal space - a zone between the two former spaces that could aid energy conservation.

Sonya Russell Saunders
Sonya is a freelance curator, researcher and producer, and she has a deep interest in performance using advanced technology. She has recently been awarded a Curatorial Development bursary funded by Birmingham City University. Her application focused on attendance at the Metabody Forum and becoming involved in the workshops and performances. She is currently examining sociological theory using multi-disciplinary art forms to create situation specific curated performances and exhibitions. In her practice, Sonya is interested in an experimental and collaborative process, working with artists and performers to expand and examine curatorial practice, the role of the curator, the role of the artist and the role of the audience within contemporary art. Within this is an over-arching investigation into ‘performativity’ - what that means in terms of live art, audience participation and performative curatorial practice, distinct from traditional curation. Sonya works with sociological theory (Goffman, Durkheim, Mauss, Jeffrey Alexander), and designs and stages situations where the audience are central to the performance and exhibition.

Maria Mitsi
Maria is an MA Student in Digital Scenography and Performance at University of Hertfordshire. Her research proposal for her MA is titled "Digital Scenography: a dialogue of emotions between the art of dance and projection mapping techniques", and it aims to investigate how technology interacts with the art of dance, through a dialogue of emotions, movement, space and projection mapping techniques. She plasn to use projection mapping techniques to create a digital performance and visually emphasize the body movements and the feelings of the performers in a space. Integrating technology as a scenography element among dance and relating visual images, will give the opportunity to the creator and performer to explore and discover alternatives perspective of expressing their feelings through digital images.
