Abstract

In this paper, we describe a comparison between parameters drawn from 3-dimensional measurement of a dance performance, and continuous emotional response data recorded from an audience present during this performance. A continuous time series representing the mean movement as the dance unfolds is extracted from the 3-dimensional data. The audiences' continuous emotional response data are also represented as a time series, and the series are compared. We concluded that movement in the dance performance directly influences the emotional arousal response of the audience.
