Performance, being ephemeral, raises record-keeping challenges that directly affect future scholarship in, and interpretation of, Performing Arts. E-Science technology has the capability to provide innovative new solutions to address issues related to the creation and use of Performing Arts records. This 3-day workshop will consider how representations of the Performing Arts are/can be created and used in the Information Society, and how e-Science can support their creation, access, and use in meaningful and innovative ways. Major themes include:

The opportunities offered to Performing Arts scholarship by e-Science.
Representations of (various) performing arts, digital representations, and their limitations/uses.
Future directions in the access and use of digital Performing Arts collections
