ABSTRACT
We present a mocap system designed with an aim towards understanding and incorporating the needs of contemporary dance choreographers and their integral relationship to somatics into interdisciplinary performance. Somatics here refers to the use of specific images and sensorial cognizance of physics principles in the human body which inform how the movement is created and performed. We apply these same somatics elements to the computational design and share the current state and our preliminary findings and results in using the system for a variety of site-specific dance performances.

OUTPUT: Vestiges of Human and Robot Bodies
MOCO '20: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Movement and ComputingOUTPUT is a collaboration between a dancer/choreographer, roboticists, software engineers, and filmmakers, developed over the course of an artist residency at software engineering company Thought-Works. The result is a live performance, two custom ...
How do Dancers Want to Use Interactive Technology?: Appropriation and Layers of Meaning Beyond Traditional Movement Mapping
ARTECH '19: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Digital and Interactive ArtsThere has been an increased interest in HCI research regarding the possibilities of interactive technology applied to the field of dance performance, particularly contemporary dance. This has produced numerous strategies to capture data from the moving ...
Exploring choreographers' conceptions of motion capture for full body interaction
BCS-HCI '11: Proceedings of the 25th BCS Conference on Human-Computer InteractionWe present the results of a group interview of choreographers aimed at understanding their conceptions of how movement can be used to in live performance. This understanding intended to inform research into full body interaction for live performance and ...
