to see what “average” children would make of our space. During our design of RoBallet, we had an initial generative theme in mind: for students to create dancepieces that expressed a particular emotion. We wanted children to think about how to express an emotion using allof the various elements available to them, from choreographing movements, to composing music, to designing lightsand creating animations, and also to consider how these different media best augment each other.
