Ballones
This paper describes the development and use of the BALLONES system, which links dance and computers in a form that can be readily used by dancers. The system accepts a subset of the French terminology used by classical ballet dancers and choreographers to describe their dance sequences. It produces computer-controlled animations of the sequences, which can be displayed at any speed, from any point of view, in any level of detail. Applications in…
The Perception of the Fleeting Moment in Dance
The perception of the fleeting moment in dance is considered by this author from the viewpoint of each of the other arts: visual arts, music and literature. Fleeting moments are classified in four categories according to the first and second derivatives of movement: posing, suspended, gliding and transitional moments. Various elements of visual design, their qualities and organization are discussed and applied to the first three categories. The r…
Computer Choreology Project at the University of Sydney
The authors describe a project undertaken to develop a computer-aided choreology system. It was initiated in 1971 by a choreographer who suggested using a computer to interpret dance notation to produce an animated figure. The authors trace the steps involved in devising their system and, by commenting on both its advantages and its disadvantages, identify ways of further improving its design. It is hoped that new technology will increase the spe…
Dance, Video, Notation and Computers
A number of problems in the recording of dance are discussed. Video recordings and dance notation provide some solutions, but create new problems as well. The solution of these problems using computers is discussed, as well as several other uses of computers in dance and various ways of getting dance information into a computer. The specific computing problems encountered in the “Computers and Dance” program at the University of Sydney are briefl…
