Projects / Inside Movement Knowledge
Inside Movement Knowledge is a RAAK Publiek-sponsored research project between Media and Culture Studies at Utrecht University, Dance Company Emio Greco|PC, The Amsterdam School of the Arts (Dansafdeling, Lectoraat Arts Practice and Development) and the Netherlands Media Institute.
The project is a continuation of Emio Greco|PC’s Notation Research Project that began in 2004 based upon a number of fundamental questions. These included the problem of how to develop an adequate notation system "capable of capturing the indispensable elements involved in a dance (EG|PC) performance" (quote from Maaike Bleeker's announcement for Springdance). The question of how to capture or record and transmit intentionality in movement resulted in the development of a research prototype based on the DS/DM workshop using DVD-ROM and interactive installation. Additional research references are found in the book of essays and documentary film related to the DS/DM workshop.
Working with the same interdisciplinary development team, the aim of the next phase is to develop the research prototype as a means to support linkis between different research areas [UU and AHK/dance] by triggering questions about body state and awareness, movement and metaphor, documentation and media, training/ learning and transmission. To this end, a series of platforms will be created supporting interaction between research within dance practice and research within different areas of the university (Questions of Meaning and Movement). For EG|PC, the aim is to work on the development of the dance notation scores on the DVD-ROM and on the motion tracking and transformation of recorded data into sound and visual feedback for the interactive installation.
March 2010
<Notation>, the brand new issue of the journal RTRSRCH, has been launched during the COVER festival at Frascati, Friday, March 26th.
This fourth edition of RTRSRCH is edited by dance specialists Bertha Bermúdez and Scott deLahunta. Under the title <Notation>, the issue integrates a wide range of textual, image and graphic content to explore questions related to the documentation, analysis, reconstruction and preservation of contemporary performance.
The content of <Notation> is strongly related to the Inside Movement Knowledge research project.
