The tool is designed for sonification of movement qualities in real time. Multimodal feedbacks are fundamental to highlight details or different aspects of a dancer’s movement in a variety of contexts, such as rehearsal, performance or choreographic production. While a visualization may offer more information, a dancer cannot focus on a screen while performing: in this case, sonification enables to have a real-time, responsive feedback on the movement without causing distraction. The sonification tool relies on a movement quality library: while different sensors (e.g., Kinect V2, XOSC IMU, MYO, etc.) capture dancer’s movements and positions on stage, several EyesWeb-based analysis modules analyse them and stream the extracted qualities to a sonification environment (e.g., supercollider, Max) that maps movement qualities with various elements of sonification.
