What is the aim of a documentation?
What is the function of a documentation?
It can be a
- reference
- re-creation
- analysis
- interpretation
- commentary
- description
- artistic response
- report of impressions
- testimony of experience
- memory
- archive
- structuring-tool
- reflection-tool
- inspiration-tool
Documentation cannot be understood as something static but is always procedural and can have to do with
- translation
- transformation
- mediation
Documentation as description of a class: Layers of description:
- describing the action, what the body does
- analytical movement description with a method like Laban movement analysis or IVB (inventory of movement, Jeschke/Rick)
- commentary of the teacher
- references to existing techniques
- testimony of sensory experience, inner process of the participants
- automatic writing by the participants
Which combination of layers can reflect the action in a coherent way?
From which point of view is documentation done?
- inside point of view of the experience as a participant
- outside point of view as an observer
Which format (media) is adequate to transmit the information?
When is the documentation made and how does that influence the function and the format?
- after
- while
- before
For whom is it done?
- somebody who took part of the action
- somebody who did not take part of the action
Objective – subjective documentation
We all agreed, that a confrontation of objective – subjective does not make any sense. An objective documentation is impossible, there are always influences (f.e. person, time, background, context) which are integrated individually and subjectivly.
