2nd Project - Embodiment in Motion: An Experiential Performance Capture

Project 2
Embodiment in Motion

Concept

As we know, embodiment practices use the body as tool for healing through self-awareness, mindfulness, connection, self-regulation, finding balance, and creating self acceptance. So in this project, my group and I decided to do a traditional dance as a way on how we want to see the body movement when we dance. We also want to see how traditional dance is show on 3D character as we were excited to learn how to use Motion Capture tools.

Brainstorming
As we listen to the music, it takes more than a minute so we decided to choose the important moves and steps. In this case, we were trying to disobey the rules in the project briefing because we thought it is impossible to make a dance for 30 seconds.

Plan A: 1 minute dance
** after 2 beats **
- Salam 1x4
- Silang kaki 1x4
- Burung kanan kiri kanan kiri 1x8
- Ngauk ai 1x4
- Pusing ke kiri 1x8
- Pusing ke kanan 1x8
- Ngauk ai 1x4
- Salam 1x4
 
After everything were done for the dancers' first practice, we thought that the dance is not neccessary to put the intro so we change a bit of the move and steps just to decrease the amount of time that has been taken.

Plan B: 58 seconds
** after 2 beats **
- Silang kaki 1x4
- Burung kanan kiri kanan kiri 1x8
- Bungai ajat 2x4
- Ngauk ai 1x4
- Pusing ke kiri 1x8
- Pusing ke kanan 1x8
- Ngauk ai 1x4
- Salam 1x4

Then after second practice, we still unsatisfied with the dance result. So, we decided to decrease the moves and number of steps just to fit in 30 seconds. 

Plan C: 30 seconds

Dancer A
** after 2 beats **
- Silang kaki 1x4
- Pusing ke kiri 1x8
- Pusing ke kanan 1x8
- Ngauk ai 1x4

Dancer B
** after 2 beats **
- Silang kaki 1x4
- Bungai ajat ke kiri 1x4
- Bungai ajat ke kanan 1x4
- Ngauk ai 1x4

4th Project - Narrative Based Performance Group

 Project 4 Narrative Based Performance Group About Character We chose a zombie as our character because we wanted to do a sad narrative story about zombie's point of view. Background Story This is a story of a zombie's point of view after knowing himself being sick. He never want to be in that way but the physical appearance of himself looking ugly and scary makes people afraid to be close to him. He just want to make friends as how he used to be when he was a person. Apparently, being a zombie also make himself hurts more when he meet the suns. He cannot live in the sun as his skin is going to melt like acidic liquid.  Brainstorm Script [Narrative] My life was great before I was diagnosed as a zombie. What's more painful than having to consider myself not a human anymore. I felt down. Left behind.  Seeing everyone is different than I am. But I need to get up and moved on. I look everywhere.  Looking for a way outta here. Empty. Nothing. Just like how i feel. Everyon...
