Hi everyone, I apologise if I am posting this in the wrong area, but I cannot seem to find a fitting topic.
The Zurich University of the Arts hosts artistic residencies in sound and music every year (with some funding, and options to apply for more), and this year one of their topics is Dance and Generative AI. I want to propose a project that actually integrates figure skating as analysing movement is part of their studies and I am sure it would be a very interesting angle. I am a composer and computer musician and I would love to find a figure skater that would be interested to apply as a collaborator on an arts-based project - ideally a figure skater that is very interested in contemporary movement and dance - because figure skating was my entire life for many years when I was younger and I have returned to the sport as an adult and this project would then combine two of my interests. The residency itself is maximum of three weeks but would likely involve some other preparatory work. I would of course apply for extra funding, and the application would have to be approved and accepted as a residency project.
The project takes place in Switzerland so skaters in the area would be ideal, but I am open for long-distance collaboration of course (I am in Austria currently, but there are no adult or elite skaters near me).
I am very new in my return to the skating world, and I lack any connections, does anyone have any idea of places to approach, or even other online groups to join, for something like this? Also feel free to send me a private message if that is better, I am happy to send more information on the residency if needed.
