Title:

    Farewell to Dawn: A Mixed Reality Dance Performance in a Virtual Space

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    Farewell to Dawn is a mixed reality dance performance which explores two dancers’ voyage from a physical space to a virtual stage and back, as the day passes before them. The major challenge in enabling theatre in virtual spaces lies with the interface, as the default means of interacting in these worlds is unnatural, unfamiliar and non-intuitive to the theatre practitioner. This makes effective theatrical expression cumbersome and difficult. The system addresses these shortcoming through an intuitive interaction model based on processes and interfaces used in a real physical theatre [Geigel et al. 2011].


Additional Information:


    Farewell to Dawn was performed in April 2016 at Nazareth College, Rochester, NY. The complete performance can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smYdab1V5og.
