Description:
Hand-Drawn Spaces is a virtual performance in which dancers move across three projection screens and the spaces in between. The figures are modeled and rendered as three- dimensional sketches and animated by the intricate choreography of Merce Cunningham. The composition was created with motion fragments that were motion captured, key-frame reduced, footstep-extracted and then assembled into long-format sequences with motion-flow editing.
