Metaphors for Dance and Programming: Rules, Restrictions, and Conditions for Learning and Visual Outcomes
Abstract
This chapter offers visual explanation on how to code using dance as a metaphor. This approach provides an overview of programming with ready to follow codes. It explores the implementation of restrictions and conditions in programming as compared to those ruling various dances. For those willing to learn or grasp the idea of coding for learning or acquiring better communication with co-workers, several programming languages are used to solve a similar task. Thus, similar codes are written in various languages while being related to the same topic. They delineate various dances and their rules, so the reader can compare and contrast the underlying principles for various environments. Then, exploration of invisible patterns created by movement of feet and aesthetics behind resulting patterns are presented, to highlight the dynamics behind the images generated by music, and subsequently the resulting movements of dancers according to various rules behind choreographies. The idea of randomness in coding, as compared to improvisation in dance is also investigated, when the dancers feel the music to create their own solutions to shape, space, and time, rather then following and obeying already designed rules.
