Boyd Branch

We are the TechnoBots! Last Sunday at @uni_southampton during a memorable show with @improboticskids at @theatreroyalwinch ! We got kids on stage to make films with green screens, nonsensical AI scripts, talented actors, but most importantly, the kids' imagination and creativity!

We are delighted to join the AI Arts Festival at Winchester School of the Arts on Sunday 22 March with our Improbotics Kids! show! We are touring our ground-breaking theatrical experience designed to boost AI literacy while keeping families roaring with laughter. How To Train Your Robot is a high-energy, interactive science comedy that rejects the "magic" of sci-fi robots in favour of a playfully sceptical, hands-on exploration of real technology. Sunday 22 March 11am at @theatreroyalwinch Get your tickets at the link in bio!

𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗜 PIOTR MIROWSKI & BOYD BRANCH 25 October 2025 This 3-hour workshop introduces you to working with an artificial intelligence and robot as a co-performer and co-designer. The workshop will be led by Dr. Piotr Mirowski and Dr. Boyd Branch of the internationally recognized Improbotics troupe. Piotr and Boyd will guide you through developing novel AI driven performance concepts, giving you an opportunity to practice your ideas along with other workshop participants. Their creative ethos is about risk, challenge, and cooperation. Their approach embodies how improvisers take on seemingly impossible tasks, and through their skill and open mind, surprise themselves. We recommend participants are 18+ years and have an interest or experience in creative technology, creative performance, and/or the future of entertainment. ___ AI in Art Practices and Research Conference II 𝟮𝟯–𝟮𝟲 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 @unatc_ilcaragiale Four days of keynotes, panels, masterclasses & hands-on workshops exploring AI and creativity across performance, film, design, XR and public impact.

This is a mocap take from performer Chavez. I’m testing streaming it over the internet with the MotionRiver mocap streamer into an Unreal5 LiveLink plugin as part of MocapLab II at Coventry Universities Delia Derbyshire Immersive Lab #mocapdancing #vicon #virtualproduction #mocaplab #unrealengine5 #c-dare

There’s a lot of choice for digital body lovers today, but the discerning choose to selfie at the ones meeting in person.
