I've written two articles that takes the analogy of choreography to interaction design. One was in "interactions" about 2 years and the other is in my Boxes & Arrows article on foundations of interaction design that came out a couple of months ago.
The premise is that whether it is movies, theatre, dance, etc. The direction of many craft specialties towards the sole purpose of generating a single narrative is what interaction design at its core is all about. Recently, I've upped my exposure to dance believe it or not on TV. Yup! there is this amazing summertime reality TV show/context called, "So you think you can dance" brought to you by none-other-than the folks that make American Idol. It is a gazillion times better, IMHO. But the real point is that you REALLY get to see how the dancer is often at the mercy of the choreographer, and the choreographer is often at the mercy of the dancer, musicians, lighting design, etc. It is a great introduction to dance, and a well its been some of the best entertainment I've seen on TV in a long time. Just put it on the DVR and fast forward through the Reality TV bullshit. ;) -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
