Expressive Processing is about the idea of Constrained Expressiveness in Dance Performance. A dancer controls a virtual character displacing her senses to her shadow. The event is registered by seven video cameras and video footage is used to generate logic data processed from body gesture, movement and articulation. A final video dance piece is produced with music made from the sonification of video data and algorithmically edited from the dancer’s movement and gesture transcription to MIDI. It results in an audiovisual piece that unveils the expressiveness behind the synchronous bounds between video, music and image composition.
