Abstract

(Taken from the opening paragraph of the chapter): The paper notebook with its companion pencil or pen is a creative tool for many contemporary choreographers and their dancers. Using the notebook affords a relationship with a set of external objects inscribed ‘on the page’ in the form of drawn sketches, notations and diagrams combined with text (Blackwell, deLahunta, McGregor, & Warwicker, 2004). This relationship can be described in cognitive terms; e.g. where the page becomes a surrogate for working memory or as a way for seeing something new by modelling structures or processes. The notebook in this sense becomes a site for the encounter of cognition and creativity; providing a place for thinking generatively with external objects (sketches, notations, etc.), an idea this essay will revisit (Blackwell et al., 2004, p. 70). This concept that the choreographer’s notebook affords a relationship with objects on the page, underpins the current development of the Choreographic Language Agent (CLA), as an extended interactive digital notebook
