RESEARCH QUESTION :

WHAT ARE THE CIRCUMSTANCES & ISSUES ON HAVING THE TOPIC AS A RESEARCH PROJECT PROPOSAL ?

• Recently, dance performance has been appeared as an art form and trigger much creativity in the industry to pop out with new ideas and sets of showcase. However, it seems to be only a one way communication among performers and audiences. How does new proposal based on "Responsive Environment" will help to bridge the gap in between?
• In order to present a pleasant showcase to the audience, teamwork in putting up a performance together from stage design, lighting, performers and etc will play a crucial role. Do they practice the process in achieving the pleasant outcome?
• Technologies involve in mostly all of the current lifestyle activities, ranging from business until personal usage. It augments human and mediate human experience, interaction and perception. Does technologies able to improve the energy performance as well as interior content and how does it help?
