Description
Migration of Invisible Narratives is a collaborative project engaging multiple disciplines, including dance, music, interactive digital media, sound design, and video. Five undergraduate students, Emily Bartsch (dance), Kayla Flentje (dance), Chantee Kelly (dance), Nicole Langenfeld (film and digital studio practices) and Olivia Valenza (music) contribute to this project through their respective mediums. We explore the topic of invisible narratives through the interactions between the time based mediums of movement, sound and video. Our research has centered around the creation of scores to evoke an empathetic response from viewers. Through these scores we explore the experience of memory through movement, sound and media. We hope to stimulate reflection in an audience's own contemplation of memory, personal narrative, and identity. The project employs the use of the software Isadora, an interactive video tracking program. The dancer's improvised stillnesses within the scores trigger audio and video cues. In other movement scores, dancers perform on, around and under elevated wood platforms. The research has focused on the interactivity of movement, material, technology and sound to create a rich sensory experience for the viewer.
