Margherita Landi has developed an approach to the body that involves the VR headset to establish direct communication with the performers, who are engaged in the process through the “Landi’s Cube” system. Through Mixed Reality, Landi has constructed a visual language that offers the possibility to direct the performance in real-time, without restricting the creative freedom of the performers. This creates a dialogue that unfolds on stage in real-time, where even the software has a say, generating random elements. It’s a three-way discourse between the choreographer, performers, and the apparatus, characterized by collaboration rather than hierarchy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system is inspired by Laban’s cube, the Rubik’s cube, and the game of Twister. It is a playful way to engage directly in a non-verbal form of communication between the choreographer and dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
