>Has anyone used AI technology in the creation of dance performances?

Hello,
I have done some experiments in this field, with a real dancer and an 
artificial creature that learned the dancer's movements, using a 
camera. With the bias that the creature was not humanoid, but looked 
and behaved more like a cloud.

Also, I have done some pieces, not designed for performance, but as 
autonomous pieces. Humanoid (or at least, having a "real" body): 
http://www.gratin.org/as/avecdetermination/

I think that autonomous artificial entities are a very rich and 
underexplored aspect of dance, and I would really much like to find 
someone, on the dance side, ready to work on a real project around 
this with me.

Thank you,

	Antoine
