role: Assoiciate visual designer /Unreal tech artist
Featuring a large ensemble of dancers with whom he has collaborated from across the country, plus Abraham himself, this Armory commission includes an innovative visual design created by Cao Yuxi (JAMES) and an Armory-commissioned score composed and performed live by the critically acclaimed new music ensemble yMusic to explore the growing sensitivities of life and transition, and nature and humanity, in our chaotic world.
In a dance performance commissioned by Park Avenue Armory, Cao Studio reimagined the production pipeline by adopting Unreal Engine, yielding outstanding results. We developed a system that seamlessly integrated Unreal Engine with TouchDesigner, allowing for real-time ideation and collaboration with dancers and the lighting team during rehearsals. For the final performance, we utilized a fully Unreal-based cue system, streamlining the workflow and unlocking new levels of creative flexibility.
