Digital Movement addresses the evolving ways in which movement and its 
technological mediation can inform creative thinking and embodied practices. In 
order to identify unique cross-disciplinary links within human movement 
research this book brings together experts from a number of creative 
disciplines including dance, theatre, sculpture, as well as computer and 
mathematical art, whilst offering an integration of scholarly perspectives from 
cultural, media and performance studies. Drawing also on historical and 
contemporary perspectives, the book argues that technology has become central 
to the way we understand and utilize movement material across a number of 
industries. Computer tools afford, amongst other things, customized ways to 
capture, sample, notate, animate, choreograph, visualize and sculpt movement. 
More importantly, computers also transform how we think about motion, or 
rather, how we think in motion—inviting us to do so collaboratively and 
holistically. Digital Movement shows that the technologization of human 
movement is a phenomenon that has the potential to have both enhancing and 
disturbing effects on our lives. This is an important study for all scholars 
and upper-level students of contemporary movement practice and performance.
