The Notation Research Project, an ongoing initiative by dance company Emio Greco | PC since 2004, reached a major milestone with the completion of its second phase under the heading Dance and Media: A Multi-disciplinary Research Project on New Ways of Dance Notation/ Documentation and Re-creation. The outcomes of this phase of research, based on the Double Skin/Double Mind workshop, include an Interactive Installation and a book, film documentary and interactive dvd-rom published together under the title Capturing Intention.

“It is the multi-disciplinary research approach that defines this second phase of the Notation Research Project: its energies and directions (sometimes convergent and sometimes not); its multiple foci and points of departure; its overlapping but separate fields of terminologies and expertise. For the aim of this second phase was to bring specific perspectives from different disciplines to bear on various properties of dance and movement in relation to the Notation Research Project. And to do this as collaborative research vis-à-vis a series of events and meetings leading to the development of prototype tools and approaches.

describes in her essay at the close of the book: ‘the interdisciplinary project team, which has been constituted for the purpose of taking up this second phase of research, takes as its departure point the assumption that the complex nature of dance cannot be adequately represented with a single technology’. In other words (and there are many instances throughout this book of the same ideas being described in different terms), we, the research team, decided that the basic question, ‘what notation system can capture inner intention as well as the outer shape of gestures and phrases?’, could be best answered through organised encounters between different specialist perspectives.

this book, you are invited to enter into these encounters with individuals who are specialists in dance notation systems (Marion Bastien, Eliane Mirzabekiantz and Bertha Bermúdez via her recent studies), cinematography and film making (Maite Bermúdez), computer based motion tracking and gesture analysis (Frédéric Bevilacqua), interactive design to enhance understanding of dance (Chris Ziegler) and the scientific study of the brain’s perception of movement (Corinne Jola). Additionally, we have included the perspective of other individuals working in the more academic areas of culture studies and philosophy (Maaike Bleeker, Susan Melrose, Franz Anton Cramer) that were not directly involved in the second phase encounters. However, we do intend to involve these areas more in the third phase of this research and their contributions here help to broaden the space for thinking about the implications of the “Notation Research Project.”
