- Summary
- COI synopsis: We are used to computers piloting aircraft and keeping an eye on our overdrafts - but a computer writing a ‘pas de deux’ or a ‘custard pie’ routine is something else. Something you can see when this edition of ‘Tomorrow Today’ looks at computers as creators.
- Researcher Comments
- Two female dancers perform computerised "stick dances" to Jacques Loussier’s arrangement of Bach’s ‘Sicillienne in G Minor’. Contains an interview with architect, John Lansdown. Other participants include the choreographer, David Drew who talks about Benesh Notation. Also features a sword fight sequence
