TADRA
Software: Unreal Engine
TADRA, and other visions uses motion capture, animation, and dance to explore and reinterpret Fijian mythology, symbology and expressive movement. TADRA holds a process of world-building and technological interrogation that focuses on the memory and stories of the dancing-body while transmuting Fijian folklore into a digital vision of mutation and distortion. This work in development utilises motion capture technology to inhabit virtual creatures and environments, in the process of enhancing and abstracting bodily expression in a live space.
