who / why would anyone care?
dance is a language
I want to teach it, make it easier for people to learn / understand

"creating a culture"

• swing society
• look historically
• swing kids? (not language, not big aim)

"articulation"

Feedback from Aymeric

• define / articulate the field, topic and approach
• stalinist / orwelian memory
• Deneet - cultures explained

• compare schools together (Wesselling v.s. Swing in Rhythm)
• method + culture (atmosphere)
• talk about the dancers themselves
• cultural codes
• mention backgrounds and values?
• Giulia: some countries girls / women are meant to know how to dance (Italy)

• Emily: bird's eye view / marking space before dancing
• code that forms harmony
• spacial awareness
• non-verbal communication
• culture of school, culture of dancers

cultural interaction while I was on stage for Special Issue 02 - dancers & audience laughing
aim isn't to become a better dance teacher, but the research will help me either way

Feedback from Steve

Before starting PZI I was planning to look into digital publishing, interactive PDFs, change in technology and publishing, print vs digital. My thesis would have probably been an analysis of a section of publishing.
At the moment I feel that would be too simple. I'm more interested in creating something I might not get a chance to in the future: a large-scale installation / experience. This would not use a traditional publishing method as a means of communicating my research.
Do I stick to a topic that interests me and use publishing as a means, rather than analyse publishing itself?

• dance notation is a form of communication / publishing
• experiments as research method
• look at Victor's (fine art) thesis - diagrams
• editorial: how will yo present experiments (event? publication?)
• discrete things & how they come together?
• my practise addresses this, this and that
• these things create chapters, which allow for development

• literacy / non-verbal communication
• Sean v.s. new dance partners
• being a good lead or follow. listening communicating signs / signals. communicating by touch
• notation as a means of instruction

• aim: what am I doing? what do I want to make out of it?

Next steps:

• look through previous experiments
• where will they take me? what experiment will flow next? don't stress, it'll flow
  • experiment 1: time perception
  • experiment 2: rhythm and notation
  • experiment 3: flow
  • experiment 4: memory and senses?
  • experiment 5: archive?
