Title: February Minutes
We
discussed the Indian dance genre very early in the
HumanML Phase 0 as an exemplar of a gesture system
that
evolved into formal genres. Bharatanatyam is one
of
these. There are several Indian schools of classical
dance,
e.g, Kathakali. At one point, a web search
uncovered some mudra illustrations and those could
be the
basis for a genre dictionary based on HumanML
types. A good one should include the sign, the signifiers,
and
the signifieds for each gesture. The multiples are there
to
enable different formats for each one. For example,
a
mudra has interpretations given a context of use,
and
one might want a 2D image, a video, and
a real
time 3Dor 2D animation (important because
the
mudra is a movement), and one would want
examples in context where the interpretation varies.
Lotsa
work.
Somewhere in our research, we
also
ran across a system for classical ballet movements
that
has been digitized. If one wants to get really
ambitious, the Kama Sutra is also available. But
consult local laws before posting the signifiers. I have
some
books on tantra systems.
Signs
is signs. Interpretations vary. (-:
