- Abstract
In the framework of DiMPAH (Digital Methods Platform for Arts and Humanities), an online course "e-spect@tor for performing arts" has been designed to make available digital methods created by the Digital Humanities project "The spectator's school" to the scientific community and the students. The main aim of this course is to train learners to analyse performative works from video recordings. Those analysis are notably achieved with the use of the digital tool e-spect@tor developed by "The spectator's school" to annotate live art videos with different features that allows to study performative aspects. While "Unit I" is focused on introducing the "Performing arts", "Unit II" is dedicated to the analysis of case studies proposed to serve as models. The course can be used on e-learning and in a hybrid teaching format through a possible course structure and aims as described and tested with students. Furthermore, by using digital technology, this course can be at the forefront of new stories for Europe in terms of pedagogy as it trains to enable new media literacy and to analyse any activity that is staged such as political discourses, public meetings, or interviews. e-spect@tor for Performing Arts is an online course dedicated to learning how to analyse Performing Arts with video resources by using digital technology. This pedagogical product is the result of research carried out within the project "L'École du Spectateur (The spectator's school)". It is a digital humanities programme which is developing the digital tool used in this course to annotate videos of live performances: "e-spect@tor". In this paper, we describe the research project upon which this course is based, research that is exploring digitalisation of the performing arts. We then look at the way in which case studies are considered in the course, both to illustrate the course subject and to train the students. Finally, we underline how this course can be at the forefront of new stories for Europe in terms of pedagogy, i.e. it can be used to study performative works but also any activity that is staged such as political discourses, public meetings or interviews for example.
