Designing for Ballet Classes: Identifying and Mitigating Communication Challenges Between Dancers and Teachers
Dancer-teacher communication in a ballet class can be challenging: ballet is one of the most complex forms of movements, and learning happens through multi-faceted interactions with studio tools (mirror, barre, and floor) and the teacher. We conducted an interview-based qualitative study with seven ballet teachers and six dancers followed by an open-coded analysis to explore the communication challenges that arise while teaching and learning in the ballet studio. We identified key communication issues, including adapting to multi-level dancer expertise, transmitting and realigning development goals, providing personalized corrections and feedback, maintaining the state of flow, and communicating how to properly use tools in the environment. We discuss design implications for crafting technological interventions aimed at mitigating these communication challenges
Debussey's Lyric Scene: L'Enfant Prodigue

On the existence of dimension zero divisors in algebraic function fields defined over F_q
Let F/F_q be an algebraic function field of genus g defined over a finite
field F_q. We obtain new results on the existence, the number and the density
of dimension zero divisors of degree g-k in F where k is a positive integer. In
particular, for q=2,3 we prove that there always exists a dimension zero
divisor of degree \gamma-1 where \gamma is the q-rank of F. We also give a
necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a dimension zero
divisor of degree g-k for a hyperelliptic field F in terms of its Zeta
function.Comment: 18 page
