Using the latest drawing tablet technologies, Shantell illustrates the music that she hears, mesmerizing crowds with art that’s drawn in time with the beat. She projects her unique real-time illustrations onto walls, screens and sometimes the dancers themselves. Shantell says that she isn’t simply drawing, but rather, is reacting to the music, the dancers and the moment.
Originally Hidden Oras was planned to be a one off project is now a featured part of Martin’s show. She ask a person to stand in front of a large projector screen for four minutes each, while she captures their moving Hidden Ora.
To do this she connects her computer to the projector, opens up the drawing software, plugs in my Wacom tablet, paints the background black, and she’s ready to go. For four minutes she draws what she feel from that person. She composes their Hidden Ora.
