In this danced conference, we mixed scientific communication and improvized danced to withdraw from the classical forms of scientific presentation and artistic representation. The dancer wore the Moven motion capture suit and improvized over a text, accompanied by music and lights. The form of a danced talk became naturally when trying to bridge the domains of computer science and dance. This form allows the dance audience to integrate a research problematic and processes, and allows the scientific audience to withdraw from a purely technical approach and better grasp the interest of research on emotion recognition. In the frame of our research, the danced talk explicited a constant and rewarding interaction between dance and research and allowed an equally rewarding interaction between dancers, researchers and the audience.
