What connects analysing the creative process of a performance using 20,000 collected digital documents, reconstructing an artist’s career from programme data, and preserving a touring show? The answer lies in digital traces – one of the most significant challenges for the memory of performing arts. This talk will explore the intersection of performing arts studies and digital. Following a state-of-the-art review of research in performing arts and digital humanities (literature, history, and representation analysis), the talk will address current challenges, including data modelling, multimodal analysis, and artificial intelligence. From preserving performances to studying creative processes and building new historiographical methods, the digital transformation reshapes how we understand and document performing arts.
Clarisse Bardiot is a Professor of History of Contemporary Theatre and Digital Humanities at Rennes 2 University. Her research focuses on performing arts digital traces, creative processes analysis, the history and aesthetics of digital performance, the preservation of digital works, and experimental publishing. With a team of developers, she designed digital environments for performing arts preservation and documentation: a software prototype, Rekall, and a web app, MemoRekall. She is the author of Performing Arts and Digital Humanities. From Traces to Data (Wiley / Iste, 2021). In 2023, she was awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for a project called “From Stage to Data, the Digital Turn of Contemporary Performing Arts Historiography (STAGE)”.
