Abstract
As computer technology has developed and become less expensive, many artists have found ways to use it to enhance their performances with interactive multimedia. This has included incorporating computer-generated images and sound with live dance performance and using sensors that let the live dancers´ movements control imagery, sound, and a wide variety of special effects. This overview describes some of the current applications of computer graphics to dance including visualizing choreography, composing, editing and animating dance notation, and enhancing live performance.
