Augmenting Live Performance Dance Through Mobile Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a pilot study investigating the use of mobile technology to augment live performance dance. An augmented performance was created and viewed through an tablet device then analysed from a technical and audience standpoint. Low complexity augmentations were found to be very effective, however the device placed restrictions on higher complexity augmentations, the performance length and the stage/audience spatial arrangements. A low-number audience test indicated that augmentation of live performance was a credible concept, though there are some clear challenges to be overcome specifically around speed of technology and weight of device.

Shared Visual Space: Dance Film in Performance
In NightDriving, a semi-transparent projection scrim filling the width and height of the stage brings real and virtual dancers into the same field of view. The resulting shared visual space contains two kinds of representation: a “here and now” embodiment of the dance through the live performers, and projected dance film imagery of virtual figures in counterpoint to the live dancers. This share...
متن کاملApplications of Computers to Dance
f all the art forms, dance has probably been the slowest to adopt technology. In part, this reflects the reluctance of dancers and choreographers to let anything get between them and the live kinesthetic experience. But it also reflects the fact that useful tools have been slow to develop in a market with limited commercial opportunity. Probably the first article suggesting the application of c...
متن کاملCreating Integrated Music and Video for Dance: Lessons Learned and Lessons Ignored
In his demonstration, the author discusses the sequential progress of his technical and aesthetic decisions as composer and videographer for four large-scale works for dance through annotated video examples of live performances and PowerPoint slides. In addition, he discusses his current real-time dance work with wireless sensor interfaces using sewable LilyPad Arduino modules and Xbee radio ha...
متن کاملMultimedial Enhancement of a Butoh Dance Performance - Mapping Motion to Emotion with a Wearable Computer System
We present a mobile, multimedia system based on a network of body worn motion sensors, a wearable computer and a visualization engine that is used to produce a visual enhancement of Butoh dance performance. The core of the system is a novel motion classification scheme that allows us to capture the emotion expressed by the dancer during the performance and map it onto scripted visual effects. W...
متن کاملLayering the Choreographic Process: Making Dance Work with Machine Learning
This paper discusses a new performance by the author that was made in part by machine learning algorithms. Working with the t-SNE algorithm to visualize data, a choreographic score can become performed through a layer of images, live coding and an improviser performer. The final performance aims to produce new possibilities for live performance through using code to traverse clusters of media t...
