Creature/Mocap
Coming soon 2022
In collaboration with Creature Bionics, we are happy to present a 2 day workshop, intended for performers who wish to learn how to use arm extensions for creature movements.
Day 1 (In rehearsal studio - not in the Volume) Tutor: Ace Ruele
An introduction for a safe use of arm extensions at a foundation level. Performers will explore how to walk/run using the practical understanding of an ape's physiology and movement.
Guided by the tutor, every student will construct their own character movements, applying video game mechanics to produce a finished creature.
Home study ( 7 days)
Due to the complexity and nature of the course, students will be given home exercises and the loan of their arm extensions to practice.
Day 2 (Motion capture studio) Tutors: Neil Newbon & Ace Ruele
Practical full day in the volume, learning the foundation of mocap, and video game mechanics in a professional environment. Participants will then develop their creature's locomotion created on day 1, which will be captured in studio.
Show reel material included free of charge.
