 Repeat After Me
I often wished for a third arm, to make my life easier. Getting up in the morning, grooming and getting ready for the day … surely more efficient with the help of a robotic arm. But I forgot about the training! Using improvised performance as a research methodology, I enquire into future worlds, where humans and robots live with, learn from, and adapt to each other. Raising questions as to who is becoming-human, or indeed, who or what is becoming-robot. 12th February, 2024 SHErobots Exhibition Launch, TU Delft Library, The Netherlands Credits: Concept, choreography and performance: Lian Loke Kuka Iiwa robot courtesy of Micah Prendergast, Cognitive Robotics Lab (TUD) Robot programming: Charlotte Firth (UNSW), Lynn Masuda (USYD), Yi Zhao (USYD) Music: Lindsay Webb Vocals: Bronwyn Turnbull Performance consultants: Lee-Anne Litton, Bronwyn Turnbull Excited to be delivering a course with two of the pioneering HCI researchers in somaesthetics, Thecla Schiphorst and Kia Hook.

The Living Room Theatre Company, March 2018  When movement improvisation meets sonic composition in the shape of a ball, who leads and who follows? Teetering on the edge between music and noise, can the dancers next move create art or chaos?
