  Choreography creation is a multimodal endeavor, demanding cognitive abilities
to develop creative ideas and technical expertise to convert choreographic
ideas into physical dance movements. Previous endeavors have sought to reduce
the complexities in the choreography creation process in both dimensions. Among
them, non-AI-based systems have focused on reinforcing cognitive activities by
helping analyze and understand dance movements and augmenting physical
capabilities by enhancing body expressivity. On the other hand, AI-based
methods have helped the creation of novel choreographic materials with
generative AI algorithms. The choreography creation process is constrained by
time and requires a rich set of resources to stimulate novel ideas, but the
need for iterative prototyping and reduced physical dependence have not been
adequately addressed by prior research. Recognizing these challenges and the
research gap, we present an innovative AI-based choreography-support system.
Our goal is to facilitate rapid ideation by utilizing a generative AI model
that can produce diverse and novel dance sequences. The system is designed to
support iterative digital dance prototyping through an interactive web-based
user interface that enables the editing and modification of generated motion.
We evaluated our system by inviting six choreographers to analyze its
limitations and benefits and present the evaluation results along with
potential directions for future work.
