Description
On An/Notations considers the potential of the surface of the page, alongside other surfaces, including the screen, as sites for engaging with and thinking through performance ideas and processes. An annotation at its simplest level is adding information to information using some kind of mark-up language or tools. Annotation of body-based practice documentation (for example, video or motion capture) is research done on research, adding semantic layers and drawing further insights out of recorded (mainly past) events and actions. This issue will seek to engage projects using a wide range of approaches alongside critical reflection to draw out and make explicit research and insights from within the entanglement of sensing, feeling and thinking that is the body-based practitioner’s research field.
