General information
The idea is to create an online platform for the cooperation of two different groups of children and youngsters, each of them situated on different places, allowing them to establish a collaborative process for the construction of a performance. The final stage where they will be able to act will be virtual, set on the internet.
One of the main features in this project is found on the quality of the established bond between the two groups along the different phases of the project. Through them, they will be able to brainstorm together, to draw their characters and to generate the plot. Finally, it will be possible that they perform with the characters drawn by themselves, animating them on real time.
The joint scenario will be virtual, set on the web, but the movements and the attitudes will be captured from the real corporeal expressions of the children, by means of computer vision, and transferred to the characters, bringing them to life.
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
Our Shared Scenario is the evolution of a proposal developed by Enric Socias from september to October of 2013, in Medellín, Colombia. (www.enricsocias.net/scenario/)
The workshop proposal was the following: after drawing creative representations of themselves and their surroundings (in graffiti format), and through a computerized process, those images were associated on real time to the movements of their drawers. On small groups, they generated a tale and they performed it, in a theatrical way.
With this new project we want to join on a similar process two groups of kids that would be placed on different spaces, exploring and developing not usual dynamics of interaction at a distance.
Each one of the groups would have their own analysis camera and the kids would perform simultaneously on the both sides. Their characters would meet themselves on the internet, on the specially created platform.
Is pretended this platform to be the place for the different stages of the creative process. With its help, the sense of the distance that is separating both groups will be avoided.
Is also pretended that the members of both groups could collaborate together on the generation of ideas, the drawing of characters and backgrounds, the developing of the plot and a final performance, that will be possible to be projected in big size at both extremes.
The first pilot experience will take place between kids of the cities of Barcelona, Spain, and Medellín, Colombia. When the platform will be ready, the experience will be able to be lived by any two groups that previously have settled to realize it during the creation period of 4 or 6 sessions.
Why this is important
We consider this experience can mean a step forward in the way of understanding the development of educational activities using telepresence as a tool. We are fascinated with the idea of helping building a new understanding of distance and separation, allowing to extend constructive bonds between people that are away both in space and cultural terms. One of the important points of this project is the implication of the body language in an informatic process, accustomed as we are of it being associated to sedentary lifestyle and inactivity. This is the characteristic that will allow to establish the communicative bonds that go beyond being strictly textual and verbal, and it will mean a step forward in the application of embodiment (personification of oneself through virtuality) in pedagogy.
Goals of the crowdfunding campaign
-
First step: Development of a software platform. Contracting of a programmer during a two or three months period for creating the different modules of the application: visual communication interface, database; interface for ensemble drawing and sharing ideas; Animation interface based in an adaptation of the opensource software “Animata”, for being able to run in a server. Most of the money gathered will be used in this step.
-
Second step: Development of a pilot experience between Barcelona and Medellín. In both places a network of cultural institutions with interest on the development of this first experience has been built.
-
Third step: Evaluation of the pilot experience and tracing a framework, with the creation of a network of interested people (schools, cultural institutions, educative and residential centers, etc.)
-
Fourth step: Establishing bonds between interested people, setting contacts and developing a program of cultural activities for developing together.
