DANCE NOTATION SERIES

Noting dance

Between 2011 and 2014, the ICK Academy presented the (Dance) Notation Series: an online and real-life platform for exchanging investigations and projects about dance notation.

What knowledge is generated within dance research?
And what questions does the researcher need to ask?

(Dance) Notation Series was an initiative of ICK, coordinated by Bertha Bermúdez in collaboration with international partners and the research group Art Practice and Artistic Development of Marijke Hoogenboom at the Amsterdam School of the Arts. It is built on the project Inside Movement Knowledge, the interdisciplinary research into new methods for documentation, transfer and conservation of contemporary choreographic and dance knowledge.
