Interaction

We are exploring the relationship between emotion and body movement and show the changes in body movements in different emotions in the video. It will be divided into two parts. The first part expresses emotion intuitively through recording body movement. Explore the interaction and mutual reflection between body and emotion, and show the relationship between the way of body movement and emotion. The visual angle starts from the foot movement, it extends to all parts of the body and combines the rotation and jumping movements to highlight the pleasant emotion. Part two shows through changing different corner to dance to trigger different characters, which like split personality to present much opposite emotion on the same body. It explores when movements are supported by our real emotion, motion trail will be logical, it can present more meaning to the audience, although we don’t speak any words, because the real emotion of the performer will bring emotional resonance with the audience.
