Within the framework of the project TeDance, we have attempted to determine the likely intersections amongst four vertexes -- motion capture, augmented reality, character animation and choreography -- from an experimental and artistic perspective. The reader may now discover a set of texts, signed by scholars and art researchers from Portugal and abroad, adding volume to the original square, creating a cubic form. In fact, the reader will find those four concepts not exactly as univocal vertexes, but as attractors to lineations of unequal intensity. This book is a contribution to a better understanding of the variable geometry of this cubic-like artefact, which permanently discovers new updating. We centralise the body within this mutable form. And this is something that dance – perhaps, more than any other performing art – keeps reminding us.
