Video Annotation for Dance and Performance: Attention, Thinking, and Memory

This book explores video annotation as a reflective, analytic, organisational, and publishing tool for performance scholarship. On the understanding that we differentiate ourselves through the adoption of technology, annotation is introduced as a manual practice of seeing and decision-making that not only enriches or supplements time-based media but develops the analytic capacity and deep attention of human (rather than computational) subjects. This is an important book for students and scholars in dance, performance studies, media studies, and anyone working with video as a research tool.
