This project will be a digital dance archive that not only holds the visual work on a website but also includes the choreographers’ intent of the work and the current audience’s interpretation of the work. There will be a sheet sent out to each choreographer, where they will detail the themes and symbols they deem important in the dance they created on the sheet. From these themes and symbols questions will be formed and logged into a polling software called PollEverywhere. Guests will be invited to a showing with the understanding that they will have the opportunity to share their in the moment/live interpretations of the dances during the show. They will also be informed about the archiving of the data and have the option to remain anonymous. To be clear, the audience will not be sharing opinions about the work or conducting critics, the only data that will be shared is those who answer the questions given. The guest will be given a QR code to scan to access the poll through the show in between each dance piece the audience will have a set amount of time to complete the questions for each dance piece. The dance pieces will be filmed and footage will be uploaded alongside the data and details of each dance piece on the website. The audience will only have a title and the visual experience as reference to the dance piece they will see therefore no bias is likely to take place.
