101 Past Performances Studies in Dance — Introduction

The stu­dy of Past Per­for­mances in Dance covers 4 areas in this course :
1. Tex­tual des­crip­tion with 2 dimen­sio­nal sup­port (images/graphics/drawings, for example)
2. Museo­lo­gi­cal 3 dimen­sio­nal repre­sen­ta­tion. Ex.: Pup­pet like cha­rac­ter repre­sen­ta­tions (minia­ture or life size of cha­rac­ters, among others) and exhi­bi­tion of pieces of arti­fact (cos­tume, make-up and props, for example) dis­played in permanent/adhoc exhibitions.
3. Four-dimen­sio­nal repre­sen­ta­tions of events on a timeline :
a) Audio-visual repre­sen­ta­tions on 2 dimen­sio­nal sup­port, from which the depth of field is not specified.
b) Vir­tual repre­sen­ta­tions or simi­lar sup­port where the depth of field is specified.
4. The mul­ti­di­men­sio­nal repre­sen­ta­tion through per­for­mance, where the past per­for­mance is reconstructed.
