This project aims to develop a method of documenting the creative processes involved in multi-media dance theatre. Traditionally dance works are recorded via notation and/or film/video/digital media. This most often represents a reductive focus on a single performance as the work of art, and leaves relatively unexplored and unrecorded the creative processes, concepts and modes of interactivity involved. In post-modern dance and dance theatre recording one performance, or treating the work as one choreographed event, is no longer adequate, and is not how artists think of their works. Process and collaboration are recognized as being as important as performance. This project will encompass this expansion of focus.William Forsythe is acknowledged as a world leader in dance theatre. In his view a work is its creative processes as well as its performances. By focusing on Forsythe's process work, 'The Loss of Small Detail', 1986-2007 ('Loss') which changes with each mounting, this project will addressproblems of identifying, documenting and making available to analysis, such a complex process work. As such it addresses the need to expose, and make accessible to study and documentation, creative processes as well as their products.Dr Valerie Preston-Dunlop is a leading researcher in the field of choreology and the documentation of dance theatre works. Based at Laban she has access to a unique and unexplored mixed media archive relating to the development of 'Loss', donated by the Forsythe Foundation. Laban will be hosting workshops with former Forsythe dancer Ana Catalina Roman (one of the original dancers involved in the creation of 'Loss''), during October 2007. These filmed and documented workshops will provide additional materials for this archive drawing on the embodied knowledge of Ana Catalina Roman who will teach key movement phrases from the work and its developmental processes to selected advanced Laban students. Making use of this rich, unique and unexplored archive, this project will develop and apply choreological methods, as a model for future applications, to meet the challenges of documenting creative processes in complex dance works. Dr Preston-Dulop will test the efficacy of her current choreological methods and seek to develop them in relation to the demands of dance theatre work by discovering new sets of relaionships between the strands of media that constitute Forsythe's innovative choreographic methods. The main output of the project will be an interactive 'choreological map' featuring moving image, sound, text and motion in a way that will expose the work's creative development and interactivity, as well as Forsythe's particular methods of working and the complex transformation processes he uses to produce his materials. The 'choreological map' will be of interest to performing artists as well notators, archivists and scholars of dance and the performing arts.

本项目旨在开发一种记录多媒体舞蹈剧场创作过程的方法。传统上，舞蹈作品是通过记谱法和/或电影/视频/数字媒体记录的。这通常代表了对作为艺术作品的单一表演的还原性关注，并且相对未探索和未记录所涉及的创作过程，概念和互动模式。在后现代舞蹈和舞蹈剧场中，记录一场表演，或将作品视为一个编排的事件，已经不够了，也不是艺术家们如何看待他们的作品。流程和协作被认为与绩效同样重要。该项目将涵盖这一焦点的扩展。威廉·福赛斯（William Forsythe）被公认为舞蹈剧院的世界领导者。在他看来，一部作品既是它的创作过程，也是它的表演过程。通过专注于福赛斯的过程工作，'小细节的损失'，1986-2007年（'损失'）的变化与每一个安装，这个项目将解决的问题，识别，记录和提供分析，这样一个复杂的过程工作。因此，它解决了需要暴露，并使研究和文件，创造性的过程，以及他们的产品。瓦莱丽普雷斯顿-邓洛普博士是在舞蹈学和舞蹈戏剧作品的文件领域的领先研究员。总部设在拉班，她有机会获得一个独特的和未开发的混合媒体档案有关的发展'损失'，由福赛斯基金会捐赠。拉班将于2007年10月与前福赛斯舞蹈家安娜卡塔利纳罗曼（参与创作《迷失》的原始舞蹈家之一）举办研讨会。这些拍摄和记录的研讨会将为这个档案馆提供额外的材料，借鉴安娜卡塔利纳罗曼的具体知识，她将向选定的高级拉班学生教授作品及其发展过程中的关键运动短语。利用这个丰富，独特和未开发的档案，该项目将开发和应用舞蹈学方法，作为未来应用的模型，以应对记录复杂舞蹈作品创作过程的挑战。普雷斯顿-杜洛普博士将测试她目前的舞蹈方法的有效性，并寻求通过发现构成福赛斯创新舞蹈方法的媒体链之间的新关系，来发展与舞蹈剧院工作需求相关的方法。该项目的主要产出将是一个互动的“舞蹈地图”，以移动图像，声音，文本和动作为特色，以展示作品的创造性发展和互动性，以及福赛斯的特殊工作方法和他用于制作材料的复杂转换过程。舞蹈地图将对表演艺术家以及舞蹈和表演艺术的记录员、档案管理员和学者感兴趣。
