This research is in the field of interaction design for live performance. The use of multimedia technologies in dance has a long history dating back to the 19th Century. Since the 1980s, digital motion tracking technologies have become increasingly prevalent and performers are finding new ways to explore their use in live performance. Landmark works include David Rokeby’s Very Nervous System (1986), Glow (2006) and Mortal Engine (2008) by Chunky Move (Australia) and works by Troika Ranch (USA) and Palindrome (Germany). All feature live motion tracking systems linked to computer systems that produce interactive graphics. The hour-long interactive dance work, Encoded, developed in collaboration with Stalker Theatre, made use of large and small-scale projection technology and infra-red motion tracking techniques to produce an immersive environment for live performance. Interactive real-time animations are projected onto and around the performance space. In addition, miniature ‘pico’ projectors project onto performers’ bodies, allowing them to be effectively ‘clothed’ with light, exploring novel approaches to real-time costuming. Encoded premiered at Carriageworks, Sydney November 28 – December 1, 2012. This work has subsequently toured internationally, with performances at festivals in the Netherlands (Noorderzon Festival Groningen, 22-25 August 2013) and South Korea (Gwacheon Festival, 26-28 September 2013, Suwon Hwaseong Fortress Theatre Festival, 24-28 May 2013). In 2014 performances were staged at Riverside Theatre, Parramatta and in a tour of regional Victoria. Encoded received funding of over $120,000 in total from the Australia Council for the Arts, Arts NSW and Creative New Zealand. |
