Transmitting, Transforming, and Documenting Dance in the Digital Environment: What Dance Does Now that It Didn’t Do Before

Abstract

Dance artists and researchers have worked together and with digital media to produce tools, resources, and “choreographic objects” — experiments in how to document and transmit the processual, somatic, and multisensory properties of dance. These objects impact the artists, modes of analysis, and archival strategies in dance, and make a wider contribution to performing arts practice, theory, and education.
