I’m currently involved in a project that is working on theatricalizing the concept of Avatar and / or Cyberspace. My head has been swimming around this problem for quite some time, and after some good ol’ R&D, here’s some of what I came up with:
These ideas are to be seen mostly as a proof of concept, and I think they’ll be more compelling when they actually make it on stage.
That said, I think there’s a lot of potential for choreography between the human body and digital forms. Yesterday I realized how cool it would be to crossover from machinima into theater. I wonder what that would be called.
Oh, in the vid, I mention my email. Here it is again: hwang [dot] al [at] gmail.
