Mobilizing the Dance Archive: How to Transmit Intuitive Body Knowledge?

How to make dance accessible as a type of knowledge in its own right? In this session of the TiM seminar on “Knowledge in Making – Design by Doing” we focus on the shift towards bringing choreographic ideas beyond the studio walls through the development of digital applications and environments. The design of such applications and ‘digital scores’ is closely tied up with the question of how such media can make us know dance differently. These types of ‘mobile archives’ highlight different aspects of dance and offer the opportunity to ask questions about dance that have not been asked before.Dance researcher Suzan Tunca relates to this topic from her long-time engagement with the work of choreographers Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten and the International Choreographic Arts Centre (ICK Amsterdam). To be able to give dance an enduring existence through time, ICK has been conducting research since 2005 into dance (an)notation, documentation and knowledge transmission. Tunca discusses how Greco and Scholten’s central aesthetic premise of ‘the intuitive body’ underlies and informs the research done by ICK Academy, paying special attention to the recent online score of Amos Ben-Tal / OFFproject’s performance 60.Tunca’s presentation is preceded by an introduction by Laura Karreman, who situates the phenomenon of digital scores in a political and epistemological context. She distinguishes these initiatives as strategies of self-visualization that are motivated by multiple concerns: not only to preserve artistic knowledge and reach new audiences, but also to meet the demands of our knowledge economy.Suggested reading:James Leach, “Making knowledge from movement: Some notes on the contextual impetus to transmit knowledge from dance.” in: Maaike Bleeker (ed.)
