In collaboration with world renown choreographer William Forsythe, ACCAD and the Department of Dance are developing an Online Interactive Score Project for the choreographic work of Forsythe's, One Flat Thing, reproduced. The team of Ohio State research faculty, graphics researchers, and graduate students are constructing a new way of looking at dance, one that considers both discipline-specific and cross-disciplinary ways of seeing. The final product, an interactive website which will be launced in January 2009, will illuminate the underlying structure and mechanics of a complex choreography, expose modes of perception and attention of both performers and audience, and enable new and multiple readings of this work and consequently the viewing of dance in general. The Online Interactive Score Project will reveal the complex embodied knowledge present in the work of William Forsythe through:

• Animated Annotations in two and three-dimensions exploring patterns within the choreography
• Emergent Art Galleries that features new ways of visualizing the data behind OFTR
• Generative Tools for giving users a way into these ideas by generating their own visual representations and compositions.
