Pathways to Live Visuals in Dance Performances: a Quantitative Audience Study

doi:10.4108/eai.13-7-2018.163987

“…Questions (D) and (F) were open-ended, the others consisted of 5-point Likert scales, ranging from 1-"strongly disagree" to 5-"strongly agree". The Likert scale questions were informed by the design guidelines in [27] and were analyzed in a previous paper [26] (summarized below). For the present study, we transcribed and analyzed the openended responses, using a combination of word count and manual tagging of the answers, clustered for each performance.…”

There has been a growing interest in interactive visuals in contemporary dance performances. These visuals often rely on embodied interaction techniques, such as motion capture or biosignal sensors. However, there is a lack of research into how audience members experience these interactive visuals, and how to enhance that experience. We conducted an audience study, involving four different dance performances. Each of the performances explored a different approach for interaction involving visuals. We collected data from audience members, regarding their experience of the performances, using questionnaires and interviews. The analysis of this data allows us to identify implications for design: balancing trade-offs within a mapping clarity spectrum; connecting layers; visuals as co-creative mediator; defined territory and individuality of visuals; exploration of perspective shift and abstract fragmentation. We argue that these considerations are relevant for designers of systems visualizing embodied interaction, not just for dance, but also for other related applications.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in HCI; HCI theory, concepts and models; • Applied computing → Performing arts.

“…We have previously reported on the quantitative side of the questionnaire [26]. That had allowed us to preliminarily identify which performances succeeded or failed in terms of a few specific aspects, but did not provide any deep reasoning behind that.…”

“…If in the case of Lenzi et al's research, data sonification is considered a complement to data visualization, in Masu and Correia's paper data visualization (in particular, interaction data) is the key aspect [7]. They aim "to gain an understanding of the audience's perception of live visuals in contemporary dance, and what interaction design elements might be more conductive to audience enjoyment and understanding of the visuals".…”
