: WHAT IS THE TRUST PROJECT :
Performance Technologists, puppeteers, dancers and actors, like people with disabilities, know from life experience that 'avatars' and most existing animation formats do not come close to representing or 'capturing' human movement. Avatar-booth technologies create 'uber-realistic' characters, too true to life to be true to life, and nearly always missing the spark of the human which is found in eye contact, physical proximity, humour, and what was once known as 'bedside manner'.
: TRUST SINGAPORE SHOW :
WHEN: SATURDAY 23 April 5:30-7pm
WHERE: Video Recording Studio (Center for Educational Development, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) |
Team of NTU and UK researchers score with a possible world' s first for therapeutic play in hospital environments
Children in extended hospital stays are not just afflicted by illnesses; they often have to grapple with the stress, and even anxiety, that comes from a battery of tests and treatments. Therapeutic play that encourages such children to express themselves and to maintain social and emotional bonds with others can enhance the recovery process of these children.
