A critical view of the aesthetic experience of the performers in the Digital Dance Performance (DDP) with Motion Tracking (MT). The focus of this view is the process of interactivity between the performer and the digital media, aiming to answer questions like: What happens when digital media turns into an active role within the DDP with MT? And how is performers’ aesthetic experience transformed through interactivity in DDP with MT?

Such answers led to characterize the transformation of performers’ self-perception and aesthetic experience in the DDP with MT through a set of constructs.

This research was created in collaboration with the Centre for Contemporary and Digital Performance at Brunel University, UK, and the Research Centre for Cultural Development and Artistic Education (CIDCEA) at the National Institute of Fine Arts (INBA), Mexico. Funded by the National Council for Science and Technology (CONACyT), Mexico.
