Opening plenary at DUX 2005
San Francisco's Cowell Theater, site of thousands of dance, music, comedy, and theatrical performances, provided the perfect setting to explore the relationship between stage performance and designing for user experience.
Heather Gold provided comedic insight, to be integrated throughout the conference in her role as emcee.
J.Walt provided a moving graphic performance combining video, animation, gestural drawing, sculpture, music, and dance, taking interactive graphics into uncharted territories.
And Tony Award winning Bill Irwin dazzled with his insights from years on the stage about the language of the body and important lessons which "improv" offers to designers.
Dinner and conversation in the historic Fort Mason Center Firehouse brought day 1 of DUX 2005 to a late evening close.
