Kristin Carlson, Thecla Schiphorst, Philippe Pasquier · ICCC · 2011
We present a tool for computer aided choreography titled Scuddle. Scuddle uses a Genetic Algorithm to generate movement catalysts for contemporary choreography. The use of movement catalysts challenge choreographers to distance themselves from habits to better explore creative movement. Scuddle was designed as a method for both facilitating creativity and supporting active reflection on creativity through awareness of the decision making process. The system is successful in generating complex catalysts that result in creative approaches to movement and support articulation of decisions. We detail the design motivation, implementation, analysis and results of a qualitative evaluation by choreo-
