Representation is a central construct in the creative process. Exploring alternate representations can significantly increase the quality of artifacts created, and using multiple representations enables creators to broadly consider the multifaceted nature of the problem spaces they explore. Narrative offers an ideal laboratory for investigating multiple representations in the creative process because stories can be expressed in rich text (a static, uni-modal representation) re-represented in animated stories with accompanying narration and spoken dialogue (a dynamic, multimodal representation). The objective of the proposed research is to design, build, and empirically evaluate an interactive creativity environment that facilitates the exploration of alternate representations in the creative process. In particular, the proposed work will focus on the Narrative Theatre, an interactive narrative-centered creativity environment.The project will yield a cognitive account of creativity that will inform the design of next-generation creativity environments. By promoting rich interactions that are simultaneously effective and engaging, it will find broad application in education and training technologies. The project will increase the participation of women and underrepresented minorities. It will involve a diverse population in the Narrative Theatre user studies, it will involve women in all aspects of the research, it will train undergraduates through involvement in formal and informal research exposure efforts, and it will increase the participation of women and underrepresented groups in computer science through interaction with the STARS Alliance.

再现是创作过程中的一个核心结构。 探索替代表示可以显著提高创建的工件的质量，使用多个表示使创建者能够广泛考虑他们探索的问题空间的多方面性质。 叙事为研究创作过程中的多重表征提供了一个理想的实验室，因为故事可以用丰富的文本（静态的，单模态的表征）来表达，再用伴随着叙事和口语对话的动画故事（动态的，多模态的表征）来表达。 建议的研究的目的是设计，建立和经验评估的互动创造力的环境，有利于探索在创造性的过程中的替代表示。 特别是，拟议的工作将集中在叙事剧院，一个互动的叙事为中心的创造力环境。该项目将产生一个创造力的认知帐户，将通知下一代创造力环境的设计。 通过促进同时有效和吸引人的丰富互动，它将在教育和培训技术中得到广泛应用。 该项目将增加妇女和代表性不足的少数群体的参与。 它将使不同的人群参与叙事剧场用户研究，它将使妇女参与研究的各个方面，它将通过参与正式和非正式的研究接触工作来培训大学生，它将通过与STARS联盟的互动来增加妇女和代表性不足的群体对计算机科学的参与。
