Acting for Virtual Environments

This course focuses on synthesizing actors’ gestures, actions and, ultimately, characterizations into creating scene work for motion capture and virtual environments. By using short scenes, acting, film production and animation students immerse themselves in a collaboration exploring character through different acting techniques, and playing with size and intensity of energy. Principles of acting and physical performance empower and liberate the students to create characters, explore the expression of emotion, and integrate this work into performance and storytelling for virtual worlds.
