Abstract
We present approaches for teaching and designing embodied interaction in collaboration with a contemporary dance choreographer. Our approaches are based on the felt qualities of movement, providing a shared experience, vocabulary for self-expression, and appreciation for movement as a design material for interaction design practitioners. In parallel, such activities provide art professionals competencies for new contexts. We present two workshops conducted at different times. The first workshop, back in 2009, brought about novel sonic interaction paradigms, technologies, and artifacts. The second workshop was carried out in March 2014, and we are in the process of developing interactive sketches by pairing our observations with motion tracking. In this paper, the activities in these workshops are presented, and reflected upon. In particular, we are investigating whether or not these activities guided the participants from the prevailing notion of command/control in embodied interaction towards experiences related to the felt qualities of movement.
