Abstract:
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 are 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.
In this Special Session, presenters discussed their individual contributions to this work and addressed the prospects of and for virtual dance.
