Accademia Mobile – Dance Notation Series! Amsterdam!

[Marlon Barrios Solano]

14 & 15 januari/January 2011, Studio Habertu, Amsterdam


The Accademia Mobile, the exchange, research and dissemination pillar of ICKamsterdam presents a new initiative: the Dance Notation Series. This is both an online and a real life platform to exchange issues and projects on dance notation. It is the result of a growing collaboration with the Art Practice and Development research group of Marijke Hoogenboom at the Amsterdam School of the Arts and other international partners. It will continue to explore the objectives and results that were generated during the Inside Movement Knowledge project, the interdisciplinary research into new methods for the documentation, transmission and preservation of contemporary choreographic and dance knowledge. Just as the IMK project, the Dance Notation Series will operate within a variety of disciplines and approaches.


As a first pilot program of workshop and lecture-presentations, the Dance Notation Series will test and discuss the potential of the platform during the second edition of the ICK Event Party in the Kitchen, a peek into ICK that takes places from 14 till 16 January 2011 at Frascati and studio Habertu in Amsterdam.
