In recent years, the intersection of technology and performing arts has opened new frontiers in creative expression, particularly in the realm of circus arts. This talk explores how digital technologies—ranging from motion capture and artificial intelligence to computer vision and real-time data analysis—are transforming the way circus performances are designed. By integrating technology into the traditionally human-centered art of circus, performers and creators can create immersive experiences for both artists and audiences.
Marion Cossin is an engineer of research at the Centre de recherche, d'innovation et de transfert en arts du cirque (CRITAC) in Montreal. She holds a PhD in biomedical engineering from Université de Montréal and a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Polytechnique Montréal. Her research focuses on the design of new circus equipment, digital integration into the performing arts and performance enhancement.
