Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Ms R. Eveleigh.

Have you ever wanted to feel like you are in a live music video? Like you can control your surroundings with a flick of your hand? Well, in this module you will enter the world of digital dance animation. By combining dance and digital videos, you will create an interactive environment, where it appears as if your movements are influencing the world around you. Just wait and see what you can create!

In this module you will use technology in dance as a creative tool to control music, background images and movement sequences.
