Several key outcomes emerged from the meeting that built on, focused and expanded previous developments. These included: initiating the concept of a 'hypertext' as an emerging reference space for choreographic resources, a review of case studies in educational application, e.g. the Choreographic Resources Lab coordinated by Ingo Diehl (Taking place alongside Motion Bank Workshop No. 4), upcoming publications where choreographic resources might be more widely contextualised and a discussion differentiating some emerging resources as generative tools calling into question the notion of artist-led publication.
