Greetings from Danton. I am supposed to write something about myself, but apart from the fact that I like dogs and horror movies I can’t think of anything profound to say, so… Oh hang on! That’s right. I’m currently studying for an MA in Creative Writing at Queen’s University Belfast. Soon there shall be Dogfox (A musical project so beautiful it could hurt you(but it wont ‘coz it’s too nice))

Dialogic Evidence: Documentation of Ephemeral Events is the title of a presentation delivered by Paul Stapleton at the AHDS Performing Arts Summer School: Digital Representations of Performing Arts. The abstract is available here. A write up by Richard Lewis of Digital Representations of Performing Arts is available here. A different presentation under the same title will be delivered at DRHA 2007. Both presentations aim to contextualize and reflect on the recently finished research project Dialogic Evidence: Documentation of Ephemeral Events.

AHDS Performing Arts supports research, learning and teaching with high quality and dependable digital resources related to music, dance, theatre, radio, film, television, and performance. AHDS-PA is currently undertaking research into what constitutes a digital record of a performance, how performances are/can be represented and archived, and how both data creators and users see these records being used in the future. The Arts and Humanities Data Service preserves digital data in the long term, promotes good practice in the use of digital data, provides technical advice to the research community, and supports the deployment of digital technologies.
