Visualizing (the Derra de Moroda) Dance Archives

[karla kracht]

Visualizing Dance Archives is a research and development project aimed at creating a 3D animation software for dance and choreography.

The goal of this project is to develop a new unique software, which provides the possibility to access historic static sources and to translate their referentiality into visuality, thus revealing its motoric and kinetic aspects. The new computer application will aid research in reconstructing dance by creating animated movement sequences. It will allow to transfer movement content from a variety of sources into a visual, three-dimensional representation. The researcher will be given a great amount of flexibility, offering a wide range of possibilities and choices to connect visualized body postures to movement phrases.
