The only choreographers I've ever worked with were community theater people and they did things more by the seat of their pants than by calculation. I like the idea, though.

But I did see an example somewhere of how a dance choreographer might use math, that I thought I would share.<br /><br />If a choreographer was planning a dance, he or she might start with a model of the stage as an xy coordinate system, draw the starting location of each dancer, follow each dancer around the grid (possibly as equivalent vectors), and make sure from the grid that no dancer is danced off the stage. Do choreographers ever do anything like that?<br /><br />Jerry Tuttle<br />onlinecollegemathteacher.blogspot.comJerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210401103314913746noreply@blogger.com
