  Kevin Inouye (Department of Theater)

  2020–2021, 2021-2022 Freedman Faculty Fellow

  
  
  Kevin Inouye is Assistant Professor of Movement, Stage Combat, and Acting in CWRU's Department of Theater, working with both undergraduate BA students and the MFA Acting program co-sponsored by Cleveland Playhouse. He is a Certified Teacher with the Society of American Fight Directors and with the National Michael Chekhov Association, a SAG-AFTRA union performer, a Fight Choreographer, and author of The Screen Combat Handbook (2020), The Theatrical Firearms Handbook (2014), and a chapter in Physical Dramaturgy (2018). Whether using masks, puppets, weaponry or other props, much of his scholarship centers around the intersection between performers and objects.
  
  This project examines the use of digital motion modeling and augmented reality as a pedagogical tool for learning movement patterns. Motion-capture data will be recorded and mapped onto a semitransparent avatar, viewable via an augmented reality headset, creating a model that can be followed not just through various traditional perspectives but also from stepping inside the model. This should permit a corporeal fill-in-the-blanks approach to coaching motion patterns. This is a proof-of-concept experiment in the viability of true first-person learning of full-body motions, with potential implications in distance learning, instructional video, game design, and more.
