ABSTRACT
We developed a body-part motion synthesis system (BMSS) that synthesizes 3D motion data captured from performances of professional dancers to support the creation of contemporary dance works. To evaluate the usefulness of the system, three professional choreographers created their original dance works experimentally using the BMSS three times, and dancers performed their works in theaters. By analyzing the sequence data created by the BMSS obtained through an interview with the choreographers, we found that the choreographers could discover a variety of uses for the BMSS by becoming proficient in its use. The characteristics of the choreography created by each choreographer were also clarified.

Body-part motion synthesis system for contemporary dance creation
SIGGRAPH '16: ACM SIGGRAPH 2016 PostersWe developed a body-part motion synthesis system (BMSS) that allows users to create short choreographies by synthesizing body-part motions and to simulate them in 3D animation. This system automatically provides various short choreographies. First, ...

Sketch-Based Dance Choreography
CW '14: Proceedings of the 2014 International Conference on CyberworldsSketching and doodling are two techniques commonly used by choreographers to design a dance sequence. These sketches usually represent the trajectory of the dancer in the scene. A set of annotations can be used to differentiate the various dance ...
