Beyond ballet - why and how, 17 April 2015

MA CoDE students Otto Akkanen and Hannah Bühler present a workshop entitled "Preservation, Documentation and Collection Management" at the international conference "Beyond ballet why and how" in Arnhem (NL), organised by ArtEZ School of Dance and Ballet Academies Stockholm.

This workshop will give an insight into some basic annotation tools and approaches that practitioners can use for documenting and sharing processes. Participants will be guided through a video annotation process using PM2GO*. We will also show some examples of how the tool is used in creative and educational practice. The session will develop into an open discussion, giving participants the opportunity to reflect on the possible use of annotation in relation to their own documentation needs.

*PM2GO is a free version of Piecemaker Video Annotation Tool, one of Motion Bank's research outputs.
