Live Performance Online(s) – Spectale en ligne(s)

The project Spectacle En Ligne(s) proposes the development of an industrial tool for captation, indexation, analysis and publication of enriched archives for genetical analysis of theatre and opera performances.

The project has four main issues leading to interdisciplinary research of SHS (Theatre and Opera), directly related to STIC:

1 – an SHS issue in the field of live performance direction starting with two fields of experience : Theatre and Opera, with the idea to developp a methodology and tools focused on genetical analysis of pieces, based on video capture. The objective of such device is on one hand a better transfer of knowledges, professions, “know how” for a better understanding and therefore a better critical of the creation process and its constituting elements. On the other hand, a better transfer of the History of theatre since that for the first time, we will be able to deliver a visual memory of performing arts process to the students and futurs professionals and to enrich their innovation capacity with the materials of passed experience.

2 – an industrial issue with the design and the development of a simple and reliable tool for captation, indexation, analysis and publication of enriched archives.

3 – an Records Management issue by proposing an approach using massively the emergent standards of the semantic Web (RDF Tags Ontology) and the video Web (W3C Mediafragments / HTML5)

4 – a social engineering and sociological analysis issue, by developping on one hand strategies for collaborative annotation and analysis from the public, and on the other hand by studying the social dynamics coming from the engagement of enthusiastics directly involved on professional productions.
