Proposal Title: SGER: Collaborative Research: Exploration of Distributed Creativityin Multi-Site 3D Tele-Immersive SpacesInstitution: University of California-BerkeleyAbstract Date: 07/29/08This project explores the impact of geographically distributed 3D tele-immersiveenvironments on dancers' creativity and their perception of themselves and each other.More specifically, the project will study the impact of digital options, such as scale andmultiply, on the dancers' creative expression and improvisation. A formal notation,called a creativity graph, will be derived from a Laban movement analysis of thedancers' movement. A dancer develops a creative dance, a new sequence of phrases,when he/she generates a new association between two movement states (e.g. a newassociation between two Laban positions) based on some feedback from the immersiveenvironment due to either invoking digital options or due to some unexpectedperformance of the system. This project will have a fundamental impact on ourunderstanding of dancers' creativity within tele-immersive dancing environments andcomputing and will contribute a new concept of transformational movement graphs as acomputational representation of dance creativity in distributed multi-site 3Dtele-immersive spaces.
