“…The EO project arises from strands of cross-disciplinary, collaborative research based in the School of Performance and Cultural Industries at the University of Leeds which have 111/3 explored the application of performance knowledge in designing technological objects. Performance practices and concepts (in particular the phenomenology of performance and the adoption of theories of play) have been brought into productive dialogue with robotics (Popat et al, 2004) and with computing (Bayliss, Sheridan & Villar, 2005) and urban regeneration .…”

This paper reports insights gained from an exploration of performance-based techniques to improve the design of relationships between people and responsive machines. It draws on the Emergent Objects project and specifically addresses notions of embodiment as employed in the field of performance as a means to prototype and develop a robotic agent, SpiderCrab, designed to promote expressive interaction of device and human dancer, in order to achieve 'performative merging'. The significance of the work is to bring further knowledge of embodiment to bear on the development of human-technological interaction in general. In doing so, it draws on discursive and interpretive methods of research widely used in the field of performance but not yet obviously aligned with some orthodox paradigms and practices within design research. It also posits the design outcome as an 'objectile' in the sense that a continuous and potentially divergent iteration of prototypes is envisaged, rather than a singular final product. The focus on performative merging draws in notions of complexity and user experience.

“…Within the space of play that this designed encounter provides, people become dynamic composers -working in a small and shifting communitas. [4] If Snake focuses on the sensual dialogue between a gallery-goer and an installed object, Hoverflies explores the expressive relationship between those club-goers and their immersive environment. This is perhaps an experiment in liquid architecture, but one in which the human/technological interface is emphatically and directly physical.…”

This paper presents the development of the robotic prototype SpiderCrab in the context of Emergent Objects 2 (EO2), a portfolio of sub-projects funded by the EPSRC/AHRC "Designing for the Twenty-first Century" initiative. We report first on explorations across EO2 into how performance knowledge and practice can help to understand and facilitate emergence in the context of the design process, including its outcomes.Turning to SpiderCrab, conceived of as a mediation between dancing partner and architectural environment, we report on the performance-led process undertaken by an interdisciplinary team in pursuit of performative merging between the robot and its human partner. We conclude by reflecting on the relationships between expressive and responsive modes in the conduct of design for user experience.

“…Previous work on interactive dance visualizations focused on aesthetically augmenting the dance moves of a performer, in either artistic professional settings [1] or nightclubs [2]. In contrast, "Canvas Dance" targets groups of people dancing together and spontaneously where everybody is part of the experience.…”

In this work in progress we present early results in the process of understanding how interactive dance visualizations can inspire coordinated dance moves between dancers in informal contexts. Inspired by observations at nightclubs and parties with DJs, we designed an interactive dance visualization prototype called "Canvas Dance" and evaluated it in a user study with 3 small groups of people. We conclude by offering a set of design considerations for future work on interactive dance visualizations for non-professional dancers in informal contexts.
