Playing with scale and perspective, CLOUD BODIES is an immersive performance that explores the body as landscape and investigates its relationship with virtual spaces. As bodies and landscapes waltz, the topography of bodies morphs with the topography of the natural world. Allison Moore’s CLOUD BODIES is a generative immersive experience in the Satosphere combining dance and technology. Using live volumetric capture, dancer Lucy Fandel’s choreography is tracked by sensors during the performance. The geometric metadata collected is processed and reconstructed in the virtual environment projected onto the dome where Fandel’s body and movements merge with digital landscapes and Arthur Desmarteaux's soundtrack.
