motion capture PROJECT

Company Christoph Winkler has been invited to participate in a motion capture research project aimed at enhancing future productions by implementing motion data from their dancers. This endeavor seeks to push the boundaries of performance technology and explore innovative ways of seamlessly integrating motion capture into choreographic work.

The project, titled "Looking at Shirley", delves into the creative and technical potential of motion capture within live performance environments. One of its core objectives is to develop a workflow that harmoniously combines the technical precision of motion capture with the expressive depth of dance and performance.

With a focus on achieving a distinctive 3D look development, the project aims to:

Refine motion capture techniques
Explore advanced capture technologies to precisely record the subtleties of human movement, particularly within dance.

Integrate motion data into choreography
Develop methodologies to embed motion data into choreographic and stage processes, ensuring a seamless fusion of digital and physical expression.

Enhance visual representation
Utilize 3D rendering techniques to enrich the aesthetic of motion data, creating immersive and emotionally resonant visual experiences.

By addressing these key areas, Looking at Shirley seeks to pioneer a new frontier in performance art—where state-of-the-art technology meets artistic innovation. Through close collaboration between technical experts and choreographic voices, the project aspires to redefine the possibilities of live performance and set new standards for motion-based storytelling.
