Dance has invaded the world of computers, and not the other way around! The response of the computer industry has so far been indifferent, but dance researchers and practitioners remain determined to understand and utilize this modem age technology. Afterall, the arts have historically represented the spearhead of living cultures, so it is logical that the art of dance reach toward an integration, or at least a working relationship, with computers--a melding ultimately of the art of dance with the craft of computers. This paper attempts to provide an overview of the current and recent investigations and applications of computer technology within the dance field. It will also reflect upon some seemingly insurmountable problems and will speculate upon possible roles for computerized dance research in the future.
