Erin Cooney, DMA Graduate Student, will be showing a live dance performance that is choreographed to use live body cams connected directly to the Immersive environment. This is showing on May 20th.
BODY/SITE/SEEN is a multimedia dance workshop-performance made in collaboration by UCLA graduate students from Design|Media Arts, World Arts & Cultures/Dance, and the School of Music
BODY/SITE/SEEN is a collaborative performance that uses dance, music, and multimedia to explore ideas related to embodiment and point of view. In BODY/SITE/SEEN, the live-streams of cameras attached to dancers’ bodies are projected onto the walls of the performance space, instigating a meditation on the bounded nature of embodiment and the fractional incompleteness of point of view.
