E2-Create Motion Bank Dataset

The dataset contains motion capture and video recordings of six professional dancers performing solo dance improvisations. The improvisations represent the dancer's interpretations of four different task instructions "Unusual Poses, Movement Vocabulary, Movement Qualities, Improvisation to Music". The dataset forms part of a small study that has been conducted to compare movement representation employed by professional dancers in contemporary dance with those used for the computational acquisition and analysis of movement. The dataset also includes three interviews that have been conducted with some of the dancers who where involved in the motion capture recordings. These interviews address how the dancers interpreted the task instructions and what relevance the given tasks had to them. The dataset has been created at Motion Bank, Fachhochschule Mainz, in 2020.

本数据集收录了六位专业舞者开展独舞即兴创作时的动作捕捉（motion capture）与视频录制数据。所有即兴创作均为舞者针对四项任务指令的诠释结果，四项任务指令分别为：非常规姿势、动作词汇、动作质感、随乐即兴。本数据集是一项小型研究的组成部分，该研究旨在对比当代舞专业舞者所采用的动作表征（movement representation），与用于动作计算采集及分析的动作表征之间的差异。此外，数据集还包含针对参与动作捕捉录制的部分舞者开展的三场访谈，访谈内容围绕舞者如何理解各项任务指令，以及给定任务与舞者自身的关联意义展开。本数据集于2020年在美因茨应用科技大学（Fachhochschule Mainz）的动作银行（Motion Bank）创建。
