So, while this may be authentic modern dance, it is just an overlay to the math. Since this is not the kind of dance I practice, I wonder what a modern dancer would think about the choreography? My sense is that viewing it without knowing there was a math connection might be a really interesting experiment -- would it seem like meaningful dance then?<br /><br />I'd love to hear from other people as well!Malkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927560751422131935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12692155561365621.post-58095886019777838402013-10-02T23:29:34.646-04:002013-10-02T23:29:34.646-04:00I watched the "correlation" video and wa...I watched the "correlation" video and was underwhelmed. (I haven't tried the other videos yet.) It did seem somewhat rigid in what it was trying to communicate. Then again, I have been very familiar with the basic idea for a long time, so I am not the target audience. Perhaps someone who has a mental block against statistics would have a different reaction.<br /><br />Personally, I don't find that the dance helps elucidate the concept in a way that another example couldn't, but again perhaps other people feel differently.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903667625039887922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12692155561365621.post-90141174501552160102013-10-02T22:34:20.760-04:002013-10-02T22:34:20.760-04:00I like the dance presentation and developing compl...I like the dance presentation and developing complexity. Text was unnecessary. I felt constricted by the explanations. No space to find individual connections, meaning, or for other questions. Math explanation can come later in discussion after observations. There is a danger in taking a dynamic form and using it to understand selected static image concepts. A good effort towards integrating two abstract forms. Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506207220770119310noreply@blogger.com
