Matt Gough Blog [closed]: time to study.. & dance
Monday, Oct 18 2004, 01:18
starting going back to uni is different from what i expected, i guess thats always the case 3rd time round (yep it sounds silly even to me, third time, eternal student !?!) however, everything seems to be progressing well.
i'm engaged in several lines of enquiry but the main thrust seems to be towards interpreting choreographic scribbles as dance animation. a graphic dance notation editor and interpreter / compiler for dance. what interesting is the new set of challenges this involves with regards to animating dance movement with varying levels of interpretive abstraction, whilst allowing a relative freedom of notation.
The Intelligent Labanotation Software Report [65kb pdf] has also been published and interestingly was missing several of the developments that i had expected to occur or at least be asked for.
my assumption is that they will come later on in the process or that they would be considered impossible to implement. i hope to address some of the issues over the coming months.. rather than now so bear with me.
anyhow now i'm in norwich for a while (been all over the place recently) things should start getting back to normal. so if you are in or around norwich and are a dancer i'm looking to take some photos for my research needs.. so drop me a note and let me know if you are interested..
talk soon...
