Dancing goes digital

By Kristi Oloffson · Friday, Oct. 6,2006 12:09 a.m.

Picture six modern dance professionals leaping and jumping high into the air with 45 light-reflecting dots covering their bodies. While they dance, cameras around them film their movements while transforming them into animated 3-D images. These images will be part of an abstract projection shown during the final performance. If that's not enough to make the audience dizzy, the animated dancing image on the computer screen shifts angles in an infinite number of ways. This is only phase one. New York-based choreographer Ben Munisteri of Ben Munisteri Dance Projects has brought six dancers from his company to IU for the creation of a revolutionary dance project using motion-capture technology, something that is a first for a mid-level dance company like his, Munisteri said. The dancers, along with Munisteri, have worked every day for the past three weeks on the project using the same kind of technology seen in movies such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Polar Express", Munisteri said.
