Since March 2020 (ongoing)
Role: Research Assistant and Creative Technologist
A Goldsmiths based AHRC funded project within the ‘Tackling the Impact of COVID-19’ UKRI call. In collaboration with LASALLE College of the Arts Singapore, Akram Khan Dance Company, and Target3D.
Within this moment of crisis, this project offers an interdisciplinary collaborative project; to research the potential application of new forms of inertial sensor wireless and markerless motion-capture in the physically-distanced creation, rehearsal, teaching and performance of choreographic dance work.
Latest test session (see video):
In this experimental test session, two dancers, one in London, and one in Singapore, are dancing together, but virtually, each wearing an inertial sensor motion capture system. Live and pre-captured dance data were streamed from a dancer in a similar studio space in LASALLE college in Singapore, some 6700 miles away, with barely noticeable delay or latency.
