In the targeted application of insights in contemporary performance research the project “Capturing Dance” will consider documentation to be an active artistic occupation and an unquestionable part of the production process of a dance piece. In the purposeful collaboration between choreographers and media artists and in the deepening generation of knowledge through lab, symposium and workshop, contemporary artistic forms of documentation will be discussed with the aim of enlarging the possibilities of documentation within the dance world for the future. The project will end with a gallery exhibition of the collaboratively produced artistic documentation. The project’s methods and findings will also be made available to all those interested with an extensively documented Internet presence.
