  Movement-sound interactive systems are at the interface of different artistic
and educational practices. Within this multiplicity of uses, we examine common
denominators in terms of learning, appropriation and relationship to
technological systems. While these topics have been previously reported at
NIME, we wanted to investigate how practitioners, coming from different
perspectives, relate to these questions. We conducted interviews with 6 artists
who are engaged in movementsound interactions: 1 performer, 1
performer/composer, 1 composer, 1 teacher/composer, 1 dancer/teacher, 1 dancer.
Through a thematic analysis of the transcripts we identified three main themes
related to (1) the mediating role of technological tools (2) usability and
normativity, and (3) learning and practice. These results provide ground for
discussion about the design and study of movement-sound interactive systems.
