Is interpretative dancing of the Golden Ratio a good Geometry project idea?

Question

Is interpretative dancing to the Golden Ratio a good Geometry project idea?

Our project is to report about the implications of the Golden Ratio in engineering and architecture.

I'm thinking of making an interpretative dance about the golden ratio. Bodies as buildings and music as math.

Do you think this is a good idea or should I stick to conventional wisdom?

I do want to D3fy the project (D3 is Definetly Defy Definition)

And there shall be bodies glistening in oil....

NAH too smexy LOL

Answer 1

Make a choreography on the "Vitruvian Man", the perfect example on the Golden Ratio and the human body.

Golden Ratio Project Ideas

Answer 3

Seems to be an innovative approach.
Greek architecture is replete with the golden mean. Leonardo Da vinci explored it in his studies of anatomy. I think many classical dance poses of the east involve this. If one studies it a lot of classical sculpture must have this ratio.
A word of caution: An unconventional approach may lose you grades. Prepare a detailed interpretative brochure explaining your concepts and distribute to the viewers before presenting your 'Ballet'.

Answer 4

I hate to disparage what you think is a very creative idea, but the idea is stupid. So is your apparent belief that definitions can be denied--that is an oxymoron. A statement is NOT a definition if it admits a denial. Try to remember that you are doing mathematics, not pseudoscience.

Answer 5

Only you know if your teacher is likely to accept something like this. I would have paid money to see the look on my geometry teacher's face if someone had done this in my class, but maybe yours is rather different!
