Volkswagen Foundation Sponsors Project at Freie Universität on Relationship between Theory and Practice in Art and Science of Dance with 195,000 Euros / Press Image. The Volkswagen Foundation is supporting a research project at Freie Universität Berlin that is investigating the relationship between theory and practice in the art and science of dance. In a project entitled "Writing Movement" (,,Bewegung Schreiben") at the Institute of Theater Studies, artists and scholars from the field of dance are examining written methods for recording movement. The researchers are addressing a central issue of current research on dance. They are looking at both artistic and scholarly practices and forms of documentation of dance. The project is being funded with 196,400 euros over a two-year period. The description and textualization of movement in texts, notations, and sketches contributes significantly to the mediation of knowledge about dance.
