Kerstin Evert; coordinator of the IDODEC project, a network of twelve European dance educators around the development of an online database that will develop and document best practices of contemporary dance education, to improve networking among contemporary dance educators and to increase visibility of this vibrant art form. IN order to do so an online platform is being designed where tagging, defining groups and developing writen documents on dance education are main goals. Evert will introduce the project and expose some of the challanges in relation to writing dance.

She coordinates the state-funded international research project TKB: “A Transmedia Knowledge Base for contemporary dance”, a research project in the interstices between cognitive linguistics and contemporary dance studies. TKB is an extensive and transdisciplinay project aiming at the design and construction of an open-ended multimodal knowledge base to document, annotate and support the creation of contemporary dance piece. Fernandes will present the project focusing on the process of annotations and descriptions of movements.

Gallier will present her project Synchronicity a performance, book publication of a poem, and the choreography on paper (score), together with an essay written by Daniel Rovers (writer).
