Drawing in the University Today - "Live Perspective Drawing" - Rochelle Haley vimeo/67764693 About "Redraw": "Redraw" is an ongoing experimental live-drawing project initiated in 2010 by Rochelle Haley while on residency in Lisbon, Portugal. Redraw involves the visual artist Rochelle Haley actively perceiving and drawing the movements of one or more performers in real time. She draws with two hands simultaneously tracking two fixed points on the dancers body. The drawn lines are projected onto a large wall through a live feed. Additional performers face the projection and actively perceive the changing drawn lines. The dancers follow the moving positions of the two drawn lines with fixed points on their own bodies. The drawn line generated by the artist’s perception is more than a material trace. The dance movement actively instigates further movement in real time performance. The aim of the project is to develop an original language within perspective drawing that is communicable through performance and drawing. Redraw posits that drawings are spatial-temporal extracts of real experience within which action can reside. This has significant implications for how performance arts are created. The visualization of choreographic structure in pictorial perspective for example, may be an alternative site for the understanding of how performance movement is instigated and organized. As an interdisciplinary project between drawing and dance Redraw is a demonstration of a process that relates drawing practices and performance, which may have applications in the fine arts, dance, theatre, physical movement studies, and other performance based departments of the university. Redraw address the question of how active perception relates to cognition and creativity. It does so by demonstrating how live drawing created from an artist’s active perception of movement might grow the understanding and thinking about temporal and spatial elements of three dimensional perspective drawing in an interdisciplinary way. Redraw is a process whereby a movement impulse is passed between the initial performer, the visual artist and other performers. This impulse becomes visually perceptible matter for the audience. Movement is transformed into a visual expression made present to the audience in a manner that reveals new presentational knowledge of dance and drawing.
