Pre-recorded movement data is collated via a motion capture process. For the tour, our dance captain Hannah will work with local companies to teach the material, accompanied by the principal dancer Harry, who will assist choreographing each scene. Movement ‘flavours’ evolve from these interpretations - we work with expert dancers from well-established companies Percussive sounds and rhythms help to piece together specific steps. We introduced our dancers to these styles and all of the dazzle concepts, influences and artwork, prompting them to create improvisations from these rich sources. The post WWI dance styles included Ragtime, Charleston, Waltz and Tango. One of the main ingredients of DAZZLE is the dance, our choreographer Ruth Gibson began by researching social dancing of the time. Live dancers and audience members are modelled as animated dazzle characters, assembling in the virtual worlds. The visitor embarks on an expedition, fully prepared and supported to explore alternate realities - participants diving in and out of sensual and visual optical illusions, distinctive and part of the spectacle. Procedurally generated costumes allow audiences to join the exhibition - coats, masks, capes and hats offer an introduction to the dazzling landscape.
Dazzle offers attendees the chance to find their agency in virtual worlds uncovering and interacting with choreographed digital set-pieces and live improvisations.
