arch670 project 1 (march 2008)

The following project is a deconstructing movement of the body performing a tap dance (tappin to extreme's "get the funk out"). It was part of Professor Michael Ambrose's ARCH670 course at the university of maryland. The intent of investigation was to deconstruct the rhythmic pattern of the dance, reconstruct it using digital modeling and trying to reinterpret the rhythmic motion of the space using different framing and lighting methods.

Special thanks to world class tap dancer Martiena Schneller.
