Abstract
This article shares the findings from research that brings together experts in dance, computing science and robotics with professional disabled dancers to explore the complexities of human-robot interaction in performance. Through a series of filmed dance improvisations, the research explores how the dancers’ expertise might reveal what ‘acceptable touch’ with the robots might mean. The article describes how a new project will draw on AI to create an archive of these dance/robot/machine interactions. Finally, it discusses how AI may also enable audiences and artists to discover, reinterpret and reactivate an existing dance archive to provide a model for how other dance and performance archives might be made more widely accessible in the future.
