VIMMA GOES ODRADICAL
PeCap Exercises for Becoming
Becoming — Animation — Ableness — Cooperation — Direction — Glitch
The Vimma project´s live performance capture -workshops of 2014 titled VIMMA goes Odradical embrace the idea of becoming. They approach the thematic via the following research questions and appropriate lines of practical work:
What kind of psychophysical cooperation allows two or more performers to drive/puppeteer an individual virtual entity in live PeCap? What questions of direction should we address with (or are essential for) this kind of live animation? What is the role of the animator in this process? How can the above entity interact with pre-designed virtual environments, and what does this require from performers, directors, animators and virtual set designers?
The workshops are organized in cooperation with Aalto University, Queensland University of Technology, Cabaret Electrique and the University of Tampere/ Centre for Practise as Research in Theatre T7.
