Roundtable
Metadata for dance archives

Archiving for Advanced

Follow careers across companies and discover red lines between different choreographies. Connecting archives and collections makes it possible to find new connections and pass on legacies. Metadata is the key to this. Through standardised descriptions, for instance, records in different locations can refer to each other. How do you prepare for this? What information do you need to maintain for this, and how do you go about it? 

During this webinar, information architect Remco de Boer explains what metadata is, why it is important for performing arts archives, and shows how to create it for your digital archive. 
Brandy Sanmoeradi, archivist at Scapino Ballet Rotterdam, and Hanna Laber, dramaturg, give an insight into their digital archive and how they work on metadata. 
Together, Remco, Brandy and Hanna will discuss what steps you can take to prepare your archive's metadata and how you can get started yourself!

This webinar is organised in collaboration between Nederlandse Dansdagen and Podiumkunst.net

This Archiving for Advanced is aimed at companies and creators who already have a digital archive.
