Digital Dance Criticism: Screens as Choreographic Apparatus

Layering the Choreographic Process: Making Dance Work with Machine Learning

This paper discusses a new performance by the author that was made in part by machine learning algorithms. Working with the t-SNE algorithm to visualize data, a choreographic score can become performed through a layer of images, live coding and an improviser performer. The final performance aims to produce new possibilities for live performance through using code to traverse clusters of media t...

Choreographic morphologies: digital visualisation of spatio-temporal structure in dance and the implications for performance and documentations

This paper discusses the role and function of visualisation within practice-led research in dance. In particular it focuses on the Choreographic Morphologies Project (2007). This practice-led research project explored the use of digital visualisation as an integral component within live performance; as a mode of performance documentation and as a visual score for further re-iterative, creative/...

Dance One Scenario for Choreographic Coordination of Intelligent Agents in Entertainment Applications

Most researches in agent coordination for computer games focus on tactical/spatial coordination of NPCs (Non Playable Characters) seeking effective methods for accomplishing a collective task in the context of war games, FPS (First Person Shooters) and RTS (Real Time Strategy) (e.g., [Almeida et al. 2004; Madeira et al. 2005; Marthi et al. 2005]). Some research efforts have been employed to mak...

Kickstarting Choreographic Programming

We present an overview of some recent efforts aimed at the development of Choreographic Programming, a programming paradigm for the production of concurrent software that is guaranteed to be correct by construction from global descriptions of communication behaviour.
