Virtual And Immersion ——A Study Of Virtual Reality Technology In Dance Creation

The concept of "metaverse" is very popular at the moment and virtual reality is one of the main concerns.Virtual reality technology is not only used in military,medical and industrial applications,but also offers a new perspective and approach to dance creation.It can transform the real stage space into a virtual performance environment,transform the dancers into avatars,and virtualize the dancers' body movement trajectories.It can provide the audience with an immersive experience.Therefore,a study of the use of virtual reality technology in dance creation can reveal the series of changes it brings to dance creation.The creative phenomenon of the last thirty years shows that choreography based on virtual reality technology is influenced by futuristic ideas of the stage.In the context of digital performance and technological development,the whole history of creation can be divided into the early experimental time stage,the calm watch period and the new stage period.The scale and speed of emergence of works are positively correlated with the development of virtual reality technology.In addition,the composition of the creative team has a trend of "interdisciplinary" teamwork.Secondly,I summarize the creation rules from relevant cases.This includes creating a virtual performance environment,creating avatars for the dancers,following a non-linear narrative thinking in choreography and using motion capture and computer technology for creation.Thirdly,in terms of the reception of the dance work,It elaborates on the changes of virtual reality technology on dance viewing patterns.The use of virtual reality technology for creation can bring the work closer to the audience and provide a multi-sensory experience for the audience.The viewer is able to actively explore the work.Combining current and future trends,dance works created based on virtual reality technology can also be equipped with virtual performance platforms such as virtual theatre,seeking to establish a stable virtual performance ecology.
