Abstract

When producing the animation of a body motion from the dance notation, the dance knowledge is a key for accomplishing high-quality movement. This knowledge enables the dancer to know how to perform the correct movement from a movement notation score. This paper presents an approach for automatically simulating a CG animation from Labanotation scores. We achieve this goal by the integration of a CG animation with a dance-style interpretation module and it is called an autonomous dance avatar. In our experiment, we implemented an autonomous dance avatar to perform a Japanese stylized traditional dance such as Noh-Plays. The result shows that the autonomous dance avatar can reproduce Noh-Play correctly from Labanotation after it has been trained with the Noh-Play knowledge.
