Performance in the digital age has undergone a radical shift in
which a once ephemeral art form can now be relived, replayed and
repeated. Until now, much scholarship has been devoted to the
nature of live performance in the digital age; Documenting
Performance is the first book to provide a collection of key
writings about the process of documenting performance, focused not
on questions of liveness or the artistic qualities of documents,
but rather on the professional approaches to recovering, preserving
and disseminating knowledge of live performance. Through its
four-part structure, the volume introduces readers to important
writings by international practitioners and scholars on: * the
contemporary context for documenting performance * processes of
documenting performance * documenting bodies in motion *
documenting to create In each, chapters examine the ways
performance is documented and the issues arising out of the process
of documenting performance. While theorists have argued that
performance becomes something else whenever it is documented, the
writings reveal how the documents themselves cannot be regarded
simply as incomplete remains from live events. The methods for
preserving and managing them over time, ensuring easy access of
such materials in systematic archives and collections, requires
professional attention in its own right. Through the process of
documenting performance, artists acquire a different perspective on
their own work, audiences can recall specific images and sounds for
works they have witnessed in person, and others who did not see the
original work can trace the memories of particular events, or use
them to gain an understanding of something that would otherwise
remain unknown to them and their peers.
