“…Motion and physiological data collected through input technologies has mostly been used to obtain insights from the dancer's body, resulting in sonification [3], visualisation [23], and/or interaction with any other choreographic elements (e.g. scenic design [35], light design [8], costumes [6]).…”

There has been an increased interest in HCI research regarding the possibilities of interactive technology applied to the field of dance performance, particularly contemporary dance. This has produced numerous strategies to capture data from the moving bodies of the dancers and to map that data into different types of display formats. In this paper, we look at the role of interactive technology in dance performance from a broader perspective, aiming at understanding the needs of dancers and their relation with the audience. To this end, we ran a focus group with ten dancers with expertise in technology. We analysed the focus group using thematic analysis. We discuss the implications for design of our results by framing the role of technology in dance performance, proposing design guidelines related to the communication to the audience, use of technology, and mapping. Moreover, we propose different levels of ambiguity and appropriation related to the creators of the performance and the audience. CCS CONCEPTS • Applied computing → Performing arts; • Human-centered computing → User studies; Interaction design theory, concepts and paradigms.

“…Both these aspects, the engagements and the refinement, are in part achieved by merely trying movements out, through repeating and rehearsing movements. This can be seen as a material exploration akin to sketching with a pencil or modelling with clay (Hansen, 2013). Such material explorations are at the core of creative practices, and we argue, are crucial in building a discourse on technology, interaction and movement.…”

“…Sync does this by visualising the velocity or the rate of change in the position of a body part (see Figure 3 and 4). Based on the performers extensive body-based practice, we were able to open up the examination of the role of this digital material, that is movement data, and in particular the creative and decisive decision taken in data handling (Hansen, 2013). We found that working with real-time 1:1 images created an engagement whereby we could question the pre-emptive requirements of computation to decide on values, as the dynamic visualizations allowed variation and individuation.…”

Conceptualising Kinaesthesia – Making Movement Palpable

Methods for observing, registering and understanding movement have become increasingly sophisticated given the advancements in data capture, simulation and analysis, however there is still much to learn when questioning the kinesthetic properties of movement and how they relate to intersubjective phenomena and social flow. Our project, Dancing in Data, aims to reconnect with the sensuous, experiential nature of movement, to visualize data in a move away from the conceptual and concrete towards a more subjective, expressive medium. Rather than perceiving data as remote and dispassionate, we present an opportunity to address a gap in the research that considers movement as autotelic and flowing in response to a heightened bodily and kinesthetic awareness. Our research suggests that technology can play a valuable role in making movement palpable, giving rise to a richer understanding of the sensations of movement as a foundational aspect of the way in which we learn, create and communicate.

This Creativity & Cognition 2013 workshop explores emerging methods for mapping movement, technology and computation. We invite participants that are interested in bodily experience within computational knowledge representation. The title Beautiful Dance Moves, references the challenge of representing embodied movement knowledge within computational models. While human movement itself focuses on bodily experience, developing computational models for movement requires abstraction and representation of lived embodied cognition. Mappings between movement and its rich personal and cultural meanings provide an underexplored research domain that can provide insight within computational modeling. Many fields, including Interaction Design, have been inspired by recent developments within Neuroscience validating the primacy of movement in cognitive development and human intelligence. This has spawned a growing interest in experiential principles of movement awareness and mindfulness, while simultaneously fueling the need for developing computational models that can describe movement intelligence with greater rigour. This workshop seeks to explore an equal and richly nuanced epistemological partnership between movement experience and movement cognitive and computational representation.
