> This issue will focus on obtaining submissions from performance scholar/ practitioners interested in exploring the topic of the documentation, analysis, notation, scoring and transmission of contemporary body-based performance practices to include live art, choreography, dance and theatre. The working title and theme refers to the 2004 issue On the Page, which "explored the page as a site for performance, as a space for documentation and for the staging of discursive and critical practice". An/notations considers the potential of the surface of the page, alongside other surfaces including the screen, as sites for engaging with and thinking through performance ideas and processes. An annotation at its simplest level is adding information to information using some kind of mark-up language or tools. Annotation of body-based practice documentation (e.g. video or motion capture) is research done on research, adding semantic layers and drawing further insights out of recorded (mainly past) events and actions. The screen brings forth the special potential of digital technologies, which includes the possibility to 'extrude' surface-based documentation into three-dimensional volumetric practices and explore the affordances of data as material. This issue will seek to engage projects using a wide range of approaches alongside critical reflection to draw out and make explicit research and insights from within the entanglement of sensing, feeling and thinking that is the body-based practitioner's research field.

> • impact of specific approaches to documentation on artistic processes and practices
> • creation of study objects in the field of performance and impact on other fields
> • influence on other fields and theories concerned with sensation, intuition and movement
> • communication of insights from process, politics of knowledge production
> • implications for practice based research
