Dates: March 04 - March 06, 2024
Besides the Masterclass Week in Gütersloh from 22 - 29 October 2023, all singers will have the opportunity to participate in workshops offered in the context of a so-called "mixed reality" opera production through our cooperation with the Staatstheater Augsburg. Mixed reality means that the physical stage space is connected with the virtual one. Eight of our singers will be able to participate in the workshops, which will take place at the Staatstheater Augsburg at the end of January until April 2024.
Singing in metaverse: March 04 - March 06, 2024 in Augsburg, Germany
The Staatstheater Augsburg is one of Germany's leading theatres in the field of virtual reality in connection with the performing arts. Our cooperation partner has made it their mission to enable theatre to be experienced in a new dimension. Our singers receive valuable knowledge and skills in new, hybrid forms of music theatre that allow participation and also function online.
Singing in the metaverse
Performing live requires a different set of skills than establishing a presence in virtual space. The technologically supported translation of the body into avatar form means equipment that also affects ways of playing and moving. Natural movement in a motion capture suit is a learnable skill, the basics of which we want to teach in this workshop. Questions of modern performance capturing and the lip synchronicity created with it will also be answered here by practical testing. For this workshop we have experts from the fields of motion capture and 3D animation on board.
Supported by DOCKdigital Berlin
The motion caption suits were funded by tanz:digital, a funding program of the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland within the framework of NEUSTART KULTUR, as part of a project funding of DOCK 11 and are now also available to this project.
