Objective

"Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) content means ""the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith"". Although, ICH content, especially traditional folklore performing arts, is commonly deemed worthy of preservation by UNESCO (Convention for the Safeguarding of ICH) and the EU Treaty, most of the current research efforts are on the focus is on tangible cultural assets, while the ICH content has been overlooked. The primary difficulty stems by the complex structure of ICH, its dynamic nature, the interaction among the objects and the environment, as well as emotional elements (e.g., the way of expression and dancers' style). TERPSICHORE aims to study, analyse, design, research, train, implement and validate an innovative framework for affordable digitization, modelling, archiving, e-preservation and presentation of ICH content related to folk dances, in a wide range of users (dance professionals, dance teachers, creative industries and general public) . The project targets at integrating the latest innovative results of photogrammetry, computer vision, semantic technologies, time evolved modeling, combined with the story telling and folklore choreography. An important output of the project will be a Web based cultural server/viewer with the purpose to allow user’s interaction, visualization, interface with existing cultural libraries (EUROPEANA) and enrichment functionalities to result in virtual surrogates and media application scenarios that release the potential economic impact of the ICH. The final product will support a set of services such as virtual/augmented reality, social media, interactive maps, presentation and learning of European Folk dances with tremendous impact on the European society, culture and tourism"

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Terpsichore (Transforming Intangible Folkloric Performing Arts into Tangible Choreographic Digital Objects)

Reporting period: 2016-04-01 to 2018-03-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

This first periodic report presents the overall activities that have been carried out during the first and the second Terpsichore project’s Year. Terpsichore aims to research, analyse, develop, and implement innovative and collaborative research from heterogeneous stakeholders in multi-disciplinary sectors. The project targets at integrating the latest innovative results of photogrammetry, computer vision, semantic technologies, time evolved, 3D modeling, combined with the story telling and folklore choreography. Terpsichore involves collaboration with universities, and companies.
The overall objective of this project is to support a set of services such as virtual/augmented reality, social media, choreography database, interactive maps, presentation and learning of European Folk danced with tremendous impact on the society, culture and tourism.
The purpose of this report is to inform the stakeholders about the Terpsichore project’s achievements that have been carried out during the twenty-four months of its activity. In particular, the first periodic report includes the main achievements with respect to the key communication tools, the publications and the scientific framework that the consortium has identified and selected, collaboration opportunities pursued, awareness raising actions and the financial statements prepared and presented. In addition, in this report is presented the training framework and the transferred knowledge during the secondments and the clustering activities i.e. the relations with the International project of the Restoration of the Holy Sepulchre Church in Jerusalem, the transferring knowledge from education activities, the international activities through organization of special sessions and workshops, the Terpsichore summer schools, the secondments training activities and the built-in return mechanism for knowledge sharing and long term collaboration. Moreover, in periodic report is described the scientific result, the financial statements and the communications activities enhancing the social and scientific impact of the Terpsichore project and it is presented the future plans and the managements issues.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)
