Exactly ten years after first release and its implementation in the practice of artists and large educational institutions, the software tool WHATEVER DANCE TOOLBOX is again available as a free web application; with the accompanying and revised Manual in Croatian language. The earlier 2011 version of the Manual in English is still available for download.
Whatever Dance Toolbox (WDT) is a web application, a software tool that in many respects functions like an interactive mirror. It has been developed during years of workshopping and collaboration with numerous users with different competences and interests, locally and abroad. Thanks to the continuing interest and a rich dialogue between the software programmer Daniel Turing, us and the users, WDT is today available as an open code software and as a free, downloadable web application. WDT was designed with the aim of expanding the field of research of movement and dance, as a practical support for learning about, the production of and the analysis of choreographic material as well as the development of creative thinking and working within an interactive environment.
The software package includes six applications: Matching Positions, Cage, Inertia, Reverse and Delay, Capture and Replay and Appear/Disappear, each offering a different way of a different mode of video image processing, thus enabling active change of movement due to different transformations of the image in the "interactive mirror".
The Manual (in Croatian, the earlier 2011 version of the Manual in English is still available for download) hold all informationenabling you to independently use WDT. But to make it easier to get acquainted with WDT, we've recorded several video tutorials in which we demonstrate the exercises. We will continue to record the tutorials in the coming months and to publish them on the WDT YouTube channel. We invite you to start researching yourself and contact us with questions and experiences at badco@badco.hr
