This is a document-in-progress collecting references for the ICMA Workgroup on Dance and Interactive Technologies. It contains references to: general articles and overviews and aesthetic issues of the field; technical articles; descriptions of relationships between dance and compositional systems; and on-line readings of interest. Efforts are being made to expand the international and trans-cultural scope of the reference list. While dealing with dance and technology, it does not cover issues of computer dance notation.
