3ndGame. Motion Capture workshop
Tampere 30 November – 4 December 2015
The TNT – Theatre & New Technology project organises a Motion Capture workshop 3ndGame that combines real-time 3D animation with live performance in a virtual/MoCap studio environment. In the workshop, interdisciplinary groups will work together to process scenes from Samuel Beckett’s Endgame into new mixed-reality versions and experiences.
An overarching motivation for the workshop is to creatively access the embodied information Motion Capture systems enable, i.e., to learn from the ways of knowing, doing and feeling peculiar to live virtual performances.
3ndGame workshop capitalizes on the previous research projects´ (DREX, Vimma project) experiences and develops further the use of sensor-based 3D motion capture in the context of real-time performance.
