 e\n\nLanguage of the conference: English\n\nAbout the conference:\n\nThe t
 ransition process of cultural and artistic institutions\, associations and
  individual artists to digital communication\, which has been going on for
  several decades\, has recently been further accelerated by various factor
 s such as the pandemic or digital transformations of state institutions. D
 igital communication in the field of art\, in addition to everyday\, profe
 ssional and administrative communication\, which also includes promotional
  activities\, encompasses shaping and presenting artistic work with the he
 lp of digital technologies and\, afterward\, digital processing and storag
 e of administrative and archival material.\n\nPerforming arts\, which are 
 considered intangible cultural heritage\, are particularly difficult to ad
 apt to this situation precisely because their value is largely manifested 
 as the totality of all tangible elements (scenography\, costume design\, d
 ramatic text\, lighting\, etc.)\, which at a specific moment in conjunctio
 n with the audience create a unique and intangible experience and expressi
 on. Extensive use of digital technology and communication platforms for th
 eatrical performance implies a radical change in the communication code an
 d requires a major adaptation of previously acquired and established knowl
 edge. It also requires the acquisition of new knowledge\, which is often n
 ot closely related to the arts and humanities.\n\nThe conference aims to e
 xamine the possibilities of interdisciplinary connecting information scien
 ces and computer science with the performing arts in the context of digita
 l humanities while reflecting on the achievements so far on this path. The
 refore\, through three thematic blocks an attempt will be made to show\, a
 mong other things\, how digital humanities tools can serve scholars in per
 forming artsresearch\, what is the relationship between digital technologi
 es and theatrical performance and\, finally\, what are the possibilities o
 f digital archiving and linking data on performing arts material on both n
 ational and international level. At the same time\, the conference will in
 troduce members of the national theatre community\, i.e. performing arts a
 nd theatre (i.e. performance) studies with leading international scholars 
 and experts in the field.\n\nOn the first day of the conference\, a worksh
 op will be held for theatre artists\, scholars and all interested individu
 als. The workshop will be led by theatre director Iva Srnec Hamer (Empiria
  Theatre)\, actor\, director and producer Andrii Palatnyi (Gogolfest) and 
 theatre scholar Cècile Chantraine Braillon with her team of experts (La R
 ochelle University). The workshop will include rehearsing and performing a
  play on an agreed topic. The play will then be performed in a hybrid form
 at – simultaneously\, part of it will be performed in the physical theat
 re space\, and the other part online via the Zoom platform. Spectators\, a
 lso participants in the workshop\, will have the opportunity to try the pr
 ototype of the e-spectator digital tool\, which is being developed by a te
 am of scholars and experts from La Rochelle University\, during the live p
 erformance and/or on its recording. The mentioned tool enables the annotat
 ion of the video footage of an individual performance and the digital reco
 rding of the emotions experienced throughout the performance. After the wo
 rkshop\, there will be a discussion dedicated to the results of the worksh
 op\, followed by an open exchange of experiences with the use of digital t
 echnologies in various forms of performing arts.\n\nThe international scie
 ntific and professional conference is part of the project of the same name
  by the DARIAH-EU Working Group Theatralia\, which is dedicated to the res
 earch of digital technology in the performing arts and the digitization of
  theatralia\, financed from DARIAH-EU funds.
