Creative Cognition in Choreography

چکیده
Contemporary choreography offers a window onto creative processes that rely on harnessing the power of sensory systems. Dancers use their body as a thing to think with and their sensory systems as engines to simulate ideas nonpropositionally. We report here on an initial analysis of data collected in a lengthy ethnographic study of the making of a dance by a major choreographer and show how translating between different sensory modalities can help dancers and choreographer to be more creative.

Seventeen architects and novice students were given a set of blocks and asked to design their dream house. Although the blocks seem simple they are filled with perceptual surprises. Manipulation led to seeing new things and these in turn led to...

Choreography is an embodied and complex creative process that often relies on ‘co-imagining’ as a strategy in generating new movement ideas. Technology has historically been used as a tool to augment creative opportunities in choreographic process, with multiple choreographic support tools designed to function as a ‘blank slate’ for choreography. However, few of these tools support creative aut...
متن کاملScuddle: Generating Movement Catalysts for Computer-Aided Choreography
We present a tool for computer aided choreography titled Scuddle. Scuddle uses a Genetic Algorithm to generate movement catalysts for contemporary choreography. The use of movement catalysts challenge choreographers to distance themselves from habits to better explore creative movement. Scuddle was designed as a method for both facilitating creativity and supporting active reflection on creativ...
متن کاملComputational Model of Human Creativity in Dance Choreography
Dance choreography is a system of techniques used to create new dances. The choreographer devises body movements using internal and external cues to express feelings and concepts, from the most abstract ideas to very concrete human situations in a highly creative manner. In 3D Tele-immersive Environments (3DTI) the choreographer has exponentially more options to create new body movements in the...
