Sacred Poses: A Cross-Cultural Movement Analysis Using Motion Capture

A cross-cultural investigation of three distinct movement traditions a) Muslim prayers (Salat); b) Tai Chi (Yang Style); and c) Yogic sun salutations (Surya Namaskar). Motion capture technology is used to record one dancer’s body performing each of these movement sequences, from which we launch a cross-comparative movement analysis using physiological, choreographic, and computer science topologies.
