The Chronicle of Higher Education Highlights ACCAD Motion Capture
The Chronicle of Higher Education highlighted several ACCAD motion capture related images in its summary of the May 2011 dance preservation meetings in Washington, D.C.. Created by Vita Berezina-Blackburn for the Bessie Award winning Dance performance of Landing Place, two featured images were based on repurposed motion capture data of the Bebe Miller Company dancers. Also highlighted were motion capture images of Marcel Marceau, well known French "mime" who passed away in 2007. The capture of signature Marceau performances now reside in the OSU Lawrence and Lee Theatre Research Institute.
The article goes on to explain that motion capture uniquely offers a muliti-dimensional view of dance performance that cannot be replicated by other current means of documentation for archive purposes.
