Advances in computer technologies have enabled new means of musical expression with motion enabled musical instruments, which have attracted a great deal of attention. We created a new performance system that enables a dancer to make music while b-boying, which is a dance style. We implemented sensor-equipped shoes and a system that recognizes motions and that controls music. We used an impleme...

In this study, we employ skip connections into a deep recurrent neural network for modeling basic dance steps using audio as input. Our model consists of two blocks, one encodes the audio input sequences, and another generates the motion. The encoder uses a configuration called convolutional, long short-term memory deep neural network (CLDNN) which handle the power features of audio. Furthermor...

The Internet is ‘no longer a curiosity, but part of the landscape’ (Dancer, 2000, p.60). Its growth rate has been phenomenal. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, by May 2000, 54 per cent of all Australian households had a home computer and 33 per cent of households were connected to the Internet. This paper examines who uses the Internet and for what purposes, and addresses associ...

A Fourier transform technique is introduced for counting the number of solutions of holomorphic moment map equations over a finite field. This technique in turn gives information on Betti numbers of holomorphic symplectic quotients. As a consequence, simple unified proofs are obtained for formulas of Poincaré polynomials of toric hyperkähler varieties (recovering results of Bielawski-Dancer and...

Korean dance, which is one of the traditional Korean performing arts, has been a common way of expressing Korean peculiar emotion including "han", "heung", and "mut". This emotional presentation discriminates Korean dance from Western dance. In this paper, we try to understand what "han" is and assist the emotional expression of a representative Korean dance "salpuri" with empathy for "han" usi...

The authors report the case of a 26-year old professional ballet dancer with chronic dysmenorrhea and a Body Mass Index of 17, who presented with right hip pain related with a stress fracture of the acetabulum. Plain radiographs were unremarkable and the diagnosis was made with magnetic resonance imaging. Conservative treatment including partial weight bearing with crutches for six weeks result...

I grew up in Brooklyn during WWII and freely roamed the streets, spoke to a vast assortment of people, and slipped into the movies underage where they were playing concentration camps, the atom bomb and Superman. I alternately dreamed of becoming a classical dancer and a champion for the oppressed. The fabric of our abode was filled with diverse people, literature and architecture. The latter m...

In NightDriving, a semi-transparent projection scrim filling the width and height of the stage brings real and virtual dancers into the same field of view. The resulting shared visual space contains two kinds of representation: a “here and now” embodiment of the dance through the live performers, and projected dance film imagery of virtual figures in counterpoint to the live dancers. This share...
