On 13 June 2011 Richard Hoadley and Tom Hall (Senior Lecturers within the Department of Music and Performing Arts and founders of the Digital Performance Laboratory), collaborated with a team of nationally-renowned musicians, composers and dancers for a performance of Triggered at King's Place in London.

Described as 'Somewhere between improvisation and composition, art and science', Triggered is a dance-music-digital performance that builds on the Cage-Cunningham legacy of interaction between music, dance and technology. Dancers initiate music by interacting with free-standing and suspended sculptures. Sound and movement evolve in response to feedback, producing a sophisticated, highly-charged performance.

The performance was been generously sponsored by the Cultures of the Digital Economy Research Institute (CoDE). More information about Triggered is available on Richard Hoadley's website.
