5. Alexander Whitley Dance Company - Chaotic Body 1: Strange Attractor
Part of the Digital Body project, a response to the Covid-19 crisis and exploring how dance can exist in a purely digital form, delving into the seemingly limitless ways in which human movement can be visualised through the use of using motion capture and games engine technology. Chaotic Body 1 is part of a triptych of films taking inspiration from chaos theory, the dynamic processes it describes and the associated geometric patterns found in nature. Available to watch on the RomaEuropa website (and look out for the Q&A there too).
