ABSTRACT
Suga' is a live volumetric dance performance experience presented in Mozilla Hubs' social virtual reality space. The performer appears as a live-streamed 3D video within a photogrammetry scan of the Annaberg Sugar Mill Ruins in the U.S. Virgin Islands, when in fact she is performing from her living room. She traces the point cloud rendering of the mill with her movements as if preparing the space for ritual, recalling events that happened there. Through movement and soundscape, the performer tells the story of her own deep connection and mixed relationship to similar sites as a Black woman growing up in the Caribbean.
