Project ‘FLOW’ delves into the captivating concept of “flow” in dance by utilising motion capture technology to capture the movements of dancers as they interpret and dance to their chosen music.
The objective is to showcase the individuality and creativity of each dancer by translating their motion-captured movements into abstract characters. By presenting the animations of two dancers side-by-side through holographic projection, the project aims to facilitate an easy comparison of their movements, highlighting the similarities and differences between their interpretations of the music.
This project offers a visual representation of the intricate relationship between music and movement. It sheds light on the personal styles and interpretations of dancers while allowing viewers to witness the dynamic interplay between the chosen music and the unique flow exhibited by each dancer.
Overall, this project provide an immersive experience that not only celebrates the art of dance but also deepens our understanding of the nuances and expressive capabilities of human movement.
