Chapter 7 Conclusions and Future Work
This chapter concludes the research undertaken in this PhD project. In the introduction (Ch.1), it was observed that the spatial dimension of sound has rarely been incorporated in sound compositions made for dance performance. Therefore, in this research project the different spatial elements involved in both disciplines have been explored through a theoretical and practice-led methodology. In order to fully investigate the initial research questions – namely, which technical and artistic elements make it possible to create a real time spatial ChoreoSonic performance environment and what is needed to find a satisfactory artistic mapping relationship between the spatiality of dance movement and spatial sound composition in an interactive context - the thesis was divided into two parts. Part I, the ‘general normative research’, evaluated theoretical design strategies undertaken by artists and researchers in the field and Part II, the ‘normative case study’, presented several practical case studies devised to test new design strategies and technologies, and described the final artistic outcome.
