Visual Art Project collaboration
The chosen dancer will work closely with choreographer and visual artist to create the movements of the digitally animated sculpture. The period of work is 2 weeks at the end of October 08.
Leaf Covered Figure comprises two main components and strategies. Both centre on the act of remaking and re-imagining. The first construct is titled Leaf Covered Figure (see above) but is more widely known culturally as a Green Man. It comprises a human figure who has been bound from head to toe in green spring leaves and branches. For this work the artist has first restaged the tradition in rural Ireland, then with a team in Vienna remade the figure meticulously in 3D, each branch and twig virtually modelled, placed and animated in a process that has unfolded over 18 months. Leaf Covered Figure fluxes over time utilising a vocabulary of movement which extends from scans of actual dance movements in space. Using a novel three dimensional cinematic technique original movements from a human dancer are recorded in all dimensions using a motion capture system.
Minimum 3 years experience is required and you must be very familiar in working with collaborative projects.
