Movement Matters The WILDS

The Wilds – a new mixed reality performance experience where movement instantly becomes music as emerging technology allows dancers to create an immersive journey of sound, light, and visual media in real time. Part mythology, part utopian vision, The Wilds fuses live dancers with motion capture technology and real-time animation inspiring a profound bond of a shared, collective experience. This Movement Matters event will give you a behind the scenes view on The Wilds. Learn from the creators: Laurel Jenkins (dance), Jesse Fleming (new media), and Lewis Pesacov (music) how it works and how it was made.
