It's so fun to dance in sneakers. This is literally me every time I go out...everyone shut up and let's dance!

Intel's "Experience Amazing," campaign hopes to emphasize how its technologies power and enhance the worlds of art, design, gaming, music, space exploration, and more. They have highlighted contemporary dancer Paige Fraser as one of their campaign faces, showing how RealSense Technology can digitally enhance a routine and help tell a powerful and compelling story. The video above is a beautiful clip of Paige dancing in front of a screen, with multiple cameras in front of her capturing her movements and interpreting them. The computers use RealSense to understand what is happening in the dance to react intelligently to it on its own. You can see that the beautiful white/purple light representing Paige's essence is destroying the darkness surrounding her. The technology is putting her emotions onto the screen! Read about her story here. A quick summary of the article:
She starts the dance crunched down, in abstract poses that represent her scoliosis and struggle. It transitions into a more powerful, athletic dance where she finds herself, eschews the brace and breaks through. “The technology is the tool that allows us to tell the story,” said Andy Cochrane, digital director at Mirada Studios, a visual effects studio that pushes technology and its ability to accompany the art of storytelling. He said they wanted to show Fraser’s struggles and perseverance in a universal way that allows people to viscerally relate to her story. See the clip about RealSense Technology below: I think that the fusion of dance and technology is incredibly interesting, and I can't wait to see what the future will bring in terms of choreography and story-telling!

About
Dance is such a beautiful way to express yourself. It can tell emotional stories and is incredibly cathartic. I danced a little as a child: jazz and rhythmic gymnastics. In college, I began to explore hip hop and Latin styles. I just love everything about dance and continue to find inspiration in it every day. I will share some of my own choreography here, as well as some dance travel videos I have made. You will also find links to YouTube dances that hopefully you enjoy as much as I do! Archives
