#creation studio

I’m in total love with the Creation studio on WWE2K18! This is what I have so far and I have three more characters to make.

Finally completed my group of created wrestlers in WWE2K18

Took almost a month after the game came out, but now I’m ready to start my Universe mode.

Jaycee (no relation to yours truly) and her twin brother Free aka “The Wonder Twins”. Backstory is that they are total Hardy Boyz fans and that inspired them to get into wrestling. Their dream is to wrestle the Hardyz at Wrestlemania. I actually want to do a fanfic series with these two at some point.

Below them are the tag team of Cody and Shannon Hart aka New Hart Foundation. Backstory is that they are the adopted sons of Bret “Hitman” Hart. Shannon and my other character Hardy Kameron are ex-tag team partners/ex-best friends. Long story on how that happened.

Jonah Russell was awarded Lab:time funding earlier this year with his proposal to model organic reactions using the body: ‘At the heart of science is the use of models; systems or structures that aim to describe a reality that is not able to be experienced directly by our senses.’ 

In his application he stated: ‘I want to draw parallels between the four bonding orbitals of carbon (which is the element fundamental to organic chemistry) and the four human limbs’. Along with his creative team, Jonah spent time in the Creation Studio in February trying out his ideas, with the possible aim of creating a ‘novel movement language’.

The team involved in the project included circus artists Aaron Marshall and Lucie N'Duhirahe as well as dancer Martha Pasakopoulou who, like Russell, has a chemistry degree. At first the team played with the aesthetic of suspensions and pauses, mirroring the stabilising effects of carbonyl substituents. 

They then individually worked on creating a piece of movement based on a particular mechanism and found that they each took different approaches to mapping it on the body.

In his evaluation of the Lab:time, Russell wrote: ‘Having non-scientists look at these relatively opaque schemes and give them meaning was a fascinating experience, something that would be interesting to look into further.’ 

Ultimately he felt that ‘a lot of the work done could be extended further in a number of forms, highlighting new ways of looking at chemistry through the lens of movement’.

Lab:time

Research and develop a circus project in our Creation Studio with seed funding via Lab:time, our programme for innovation and experimentation.

Deadline: this Thursday!

Joli Vyan used funding and space provided by Lab:time to “explore the fusion of circus techniques and dance”

"We discovered that there is a huge possibility of mixing release dance technique with acrobatics. We discovered that fluidity of dance can enhance acrobatics and the power and excitement of acrobatics can enhance dance. We continued the discovery of our individual movement style.

The week of R and D helped us hugely in the creation of our new outdoor show H2H, which we have just finished making. This enhanced our experience of fusing dance and acrobatics. What we discovered about fusing dance release techniques and acrobatics in that R and D was very helpful for our creation process. We were also able to develop some of the material we created during this R and D to put in the final show."
