From Stage to Data is an ERC-funded project that began in 2024, exploring the paradigm shift of digital traces for the historiography of contemporary performing arts. Drawing on the Avignon Festival and its approximately 2,000 performances, and through the lenses of resurgence and collaboration, the project examines the historical and aesthetic dimensions of mise en scène since World War II. Three corpora are considered: the programs of the approximately 2,000 performances, thousands of photographs and videos, and the study of specific creative processes through their digital traces. For each of these corpora, machine learning techniques are applied to uncover creation contexts and networks, aesthetic resonances, and models of creative processes. The project is currently in the early stages of processing the data and setting up methods and workflows, which will be presented to show the ongoing development of the research.
