Using the metaphor of the mind as a ‘screen’, Weaver collaborated with Dr. Patrick Healey and Rosella Galindo Esparza at QMUL to develop a new workshop format for stroke survivors. PhD candidate Galindo became a key collaborator, developing interactive technologies assisted by live motion capture and green screen technology to accompany the performance methodologies provided by Weaver. Part of the research made use of domestic Kinect Technology to develop green screening’s potential, and to make it low cost and more accessible to support groups.
PROCESS STAGE THREE
Performing Embodiment Poster created by Rosella Galindo in collaboration with Weaver’s workshop methodologies (Manchester, UK; 2016).
This poster articulates the combined workshop process. It was created for the International Workshop on Virtual Social Interaction.
PROCESS STAGE THREE
Enhanced still images from interactive workshops (Stockport and Liverpool, UK; 2017).
Images were created during workshops that experimented with Kinect technology and interactive software to encourage participants to move beyond previously defined limits.
