ICWS - Automated Choreographer Synthesis for Web Services Composition Using I/O Automata
IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2007), 2007Co-Authors: Saayan Mitra, Ratnesh Kumar, Samik BasuAbstract:We study the problem of synthesis of a choreographer in Web service composition for a given set of services and a goal. Services and goal are represented using I/O automata which can succinctly and precisely describe the interfaces of the services. Our technique considers existence and synthesis of two types of the Choreographers: a simple choreographer capable of only relaying outputs from one service to input of another and a transducing choreographer which is capable of storing and reusing inputs/outputs from the services. The central theme of our technique relies on generating I/O automata representation of all possible choreographed behavior of existing services (captured in form of universal service automaton, a concept introduced in this paper) and verifying that the goal can be simulated by the universal set of choreographed behaviors.

Self Psychology and the Modern Dance Choreographer
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009Co-Authors: Carol M. PressAbstract:Theory and research methodology of self psychology are integrated with the experiences of modern dance Choreographers to investigate the importance of creativity, art making, and aesthetics in mental health and our everyday lives. Empathy, as aesthetically based, is explored to understand the capacity of the arts to unite us in our humanity. Connections between aesthetic development, creativity, and infant patterns of learning are drawn. The influence of sensual and exploration/assertion motivational systems upon the contemporary choreographer are highlighted, leading to an understanding of the selfobject function of sensation and movement for the dance artist. Through an examination of the moment to moment ritualized experiences of studio work, the creative process in making dances is discussed. Ultimately understanding creativity and aesthetically based empathy inform our delineation of mental health and the need for aesthetic experience in everyday life.

The Construction of Authenticity in the Creative Process: Lessons from Choreographers of Contemporary Dance
Organization Science, 2020Co-Authors: Tamar Sagiv, Tal Simons, Israel DroriAbstract:The literature on authenticity of cultural production has systematically examined the perceived authenticity of both the producer and the cultural product but not of the creative process. This study aims to address this lacuna, adopting Carroll and Wheaton's typology of type and moral authenticity to examine how contemporary dance Choreographers construct authenticity during the creation of a new choreography. Our analysis of data from 23 contemporary dance companies reveals that the two meanings of authenticity dynamically reconstitute one another in the creative process. First, Choreographers construct moral authenticity through transformation of form, deconstructing established artistic dance forms and introducing new movements from a bricolage of techniques. Second, they construct type authenticity through wrapping expression, facilitating the deconstruction of the values attached to the bricolage of techniques into artistic dance aesthetics. Finally, Choreographers evoke both moral and type authenticity through a creative process of reconstruction. Our noteworthy finding reveals how the construction of authenticity in the process of creating a new choreography, and the dynamics between the two meanings of authenticity, serve significantly as a means of communication among the involved actors, thereby enabling the creative process.

CSCW - Bodies in critique: a technological intervention in the dance production process
Proceedings of the ACM 2012 conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work - CSCW '12, 2012Co-Authors: Erin A. Carroll, Danielle Lottridge, Celine Latulipe, Vikash Singh, Melissa WordAbstract:The dance production process is strongly influenced within the physical rehearsal space by social context factors and dynamics, such as intimacy of bodies, gender distribution, and the hierarchy of Choreographers and dancers. Introducing online tools for asynchronous collaboration can change the traditional dance production process and impact the social dynamics of the group. We developed and deployed the Choreographer's Notebook, a web-based, collaborative, multi-modal annotation tool used in the creative process of making dance. We collected usage logs and choreographer reflections on the use of this tool, along with conducting interviews and focus groups, from the interdisciplinary perspectives of both technologists and Choreographers involved in the project. We describe the socio-technical impacts of the Choreographer's Notebook based on the results of its usage in three dance productions. We analyze these case studies through various contextual lenses and provide a visualization of how the choreographic correction process evolved.

the choreographer s notebook a video annotation system for dancers and Choreographers
Creativity and Cognition, 2011Co-Authors: Vikash Singh, Erin A. Carroll, Celine Latulipe, Danielle LottridgeAbstract:We present a collaborative tool for Choreographers and dancers, the Choreographer's Notebook, which allows multimodal annotation of rehearsal videos during the dance production process. The dance production process is a creative process in which exploration and expression are paramount and we describe issues we have observed over four different dance production cycles. The Choreographer's Notebook addresses the recurring problem of scarcity of rehearsal time and space, which is a limiting factor for exploration and expression. The tool is a web-based video application that enables Choreographers to provide multimodal, context-sensitive instructions and feedback to the dancers outside of formal rehearsal time. The novelty of this tool is its ability to provide a multimodal collaborative video-based workflow. This article also presents a thorough ethnographic investigation of the dance production process and results from the use of the Choreographer's Notebook as an artifact within that process.
