The performing arts and technology don't seem like natural allies, yet the worlds of theater, dance and more are increasingly integrating techniques to add different artistic approaches as needed. Digital projections are now much more common, holographic uses and other approaches have enabled the performing arts to reinvent themselves, in part, without taking the humanity out of creation.
Consequently, in December 2024, the Quebec creative collective "Les 7 doigts de la main" organized a forum on the technological question. Researcher Marion Cossin presented her team's work on the possibilities of motion capture in the performing arts. This can be used in projections or 3D artistic creations, both on stage and on virtual reality devices.
This technology also enables researchers to see how certain acts in dance or the circus arts demand effort from the body. This makes it possible to note the reality of these gestures and what needs to be changed to avoid injury to the performers. The center has even created a practical guide, available online free of charge, to help you understand every possibility of the various techniques and their associated costs, so that you can make the right choice when creating a project.
