Pandemic and Beyond Episode 6: Motion Capture and Virtual Dance Performance with Dr Dan Strutt and Clemence Debaig
Description
In this episode of the Pandemic and Beyond podcast, Pascale Aebischer talks to Dr Dan Strutt (Lecturer at Goldsmiths University, London) and dancer and computational artist Clemence Debaig about their AHRC-funded research project which experiments with live motion capture technology to bring physically-distant dancers together to enable new ways of rehearsing and performing choreographic dance work. They speak about the challenges of creating dance remotely, but also explore the new creative opportunities and benefits that this virtual form of performance might bring.

The project coordinates and communicates Arts and Humanities research projects that are designed to explore and mitigate the wide-ranging impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. It provides interdisciplinary support to coordinate the Covid-19-related research funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, providing a virtual hub where researchers, user groups and policymakers can meet, find out about related projects, and work together to share expertise and resources.
