How does a bird fly? How do humans communicate through dance? Choreographer Alexander Whitley’s new digital dance film examines these themes and more. Created with scientists from Oxford Flight Lab and young people from Oxford’s Parasol Project, this premiere is part of the Digital Body project, a collaborative platform for digital dance exploring how human movement can be represented using motion-capture and 3D animation technology.
