Duration: June 2007 to November 2007

The DDS has been awarded AHRC funding for the first stage of the Living Canvas Initiative, which aims to explore the novel artistic possibilities of using the performer's body and clothes as a projection surface in the context of a stage performance. A new projection system will enable a dynamic or even improvised performance by detecting the posture and silhouette of the performer and projecting imagery precisely to the selected parts of body. The Living Canvas is a collaboration between The Glasgow School of Art and Theatre Cryptic.
