An analysis of 2 classic dances for Italy and Japan with a new digital dictionary system for human movement and the Motion Capture

基于比较舞蹈研究方法，通过动作捕捉技术对身体符号表征进行三维动作分析，可以定量地建立世界领先的两种古典舞——日本的“神田舞”和意大利文艺复兴宫廷舞“巴萨丹扎”之间共有的定性属性。更具体地说，在神贺舞的“身体螺旋运动”和巴萨跳扎的“贡多拉波浪运动”中都发现了一种明显“深刻”和“优美”的动作，因此，目前的计算机量化研究已经证明了这种“优雅”的表达。我们的田野调查证明，日本研究者的研究文献所重构的“巴萨丹扎”的舞蹈套路与锡耶纳城堡中世纪节日中重演的“巴萨丹扎”几乎一致。该研究结果发表在2004年日本比较舞蹈学会学术会议上。日本科学委员会（京都大学）举办的“艺术力量-文化适应的可能性”研讨会上，将发表国田发现的日本螺旋运动和新确定的“连接-联络运动”的研究成果。为此，在对巴萨跳扎和神田舞进行比较的基础上，实验性地开发和制作了一个动作词典。从文艺复兴时期的舞蹈演变而来的对巴洛克舞蹈的影响的研究是在普鲁士（德国）宫廷舞蹈的范围内进行的。可以辨认出相当程度的同一性。（如对日本历史上禄命馆球的影响）

Based on the comparative dance study method, as the result of three-dimensional movement analysis of bodily symbolic representations by Motion Capture, the shared qualitative attributes between the world leading two classical dances, Japanese"Kamigata Mai"and"Bassa Danza", Italian renaissance court dance, have been able to be established quantitatively. More specifically, an"elegant"element described as a distinctly"profound"and"graceful"movement has been found in the both"spiral movement of body"of Kamigata-Mai and"gondola wave movement"of Bassa Danza, therefore the present computerized quantitative research has proved this expression of"elegance".1.Our fieldwork proved that the dance formula of"Bassa Danza"reconstructed by a research literature of a Japanese researcher almost consists with"Bassa Danza"reenacted in the medieval festival of Siena Castle. This research finding was presented at the academic conference of Japanese Society of Comparative Dances in 2004.2.The research finding concerning the Japanese spiral movement found by Kunieda and a newly identified"linking-liaison movement"will be presented at the symposium of"Art Power -Possibility of Acculturation"held by Science Council of Japan (Kyoto University).3.To that end, a movement dictionary based on a comparison of Bassa Danza and Kamigata-Mai has been developed and produced experimentally.4.The study on the influences on Baroque Dance evolved from Renaissance Dance is being conducted on the range of the Prussian (German) court dance. The considerable degree of identity can be recognized. (e.g. impact on Rokumeikan Ball in Japanese history)
