Created with dance movement, digital animation, and projection programming, this work demonstrates a cohabitation of dance and digital art. The relationship between physical and digital spaces is developed through choreographic impetus of body and animation. The process used movement of the body in physical space and digitally transcribed it into animated movement in digital space. A found immergence has opened an opportunity to experience dance and choreography in a mixed reality environment.
