Into another body
Into another body
“I was impressed especially by the beginning scene, when the dancer becomes two due to an avatar on the screen, playing hide and seek; and for the quality of the dancer’s movements. ”
Into Another Body is an interactive media dance solo that merges dance, electronic music, and video projection into a dynamic exploration of human-machine collaboration. The project combines live motion tracking with real-time sound and visuals to create shifting digital embodiments of choreography—melding human movement and AI responses in unpredictable ways. Using Kinect technology, the performance transforms active bodies into living, projected avatars that evolve and adapt with each motion, offering a fusion of identities and perspectives that blurs the boundary between dancer and digital persona.
The performance invites spectators to experience the emergence of new identities born from the meeting of human intention and machine interpretation—a journey that pushes the boundaries of dance and artificial intelligence, revealing the creativity possible when technology and humanity coalesce.
