  Good question 🙂 I have a few ideas that I think could work. One looks at clustering and how data is clustered based on similarities and differences. This could be demonstrated using different movement and other visual clues like spacing and the colours different dancers are wearing. I have another idea which looks at linked data and how the connections between content and ideas are linked or unlinked. This again can be done through movement and spacing. What I would do to work out exactly what I’d be doing is to talk through some different methods with the choreographer and see what he thinks would work best visually with movement. Then we would try some different things out with some dancers in the studio and see what actually works and conveys what we want it to.
