The 1st. International Conference on "Multimodal Communication: Language, Performance and Digital Media" wss organized in the framework of TKB research project conclusion (http://tkb.fcsh.unl.pt) and aimed to: present the results and software tools developed during the TKB project; provide a multidisciplinary forum for researchers from different disciplines and artists interested in the documentation of Performing Arts (with a focus on contemporary theatrical dance and Performance), as well as in issues of multimodality in human communication and in human-computer interaction, particularly regarding video annotation tools and collaborative platforms for cultural heritage.

The event wished to bring together contemporary artists and researchers from a broad range of academic disciplines, working within different theoretical and methodological paradigms in a creative, internationally oriented, and stimulating atmosphere. The importance of multimodal communication and creativity is now generally recognised by researchers from either the Humanities, Information Technologies or Cognitive Science. This conference has therefore offered an opportunity to present and learn about research findings concerning human behaviour and agency in different types of communication and their cognitive, cultural, narrative, technological, social, textual or discourse functions.

It was organized by the FCSH and the FCT of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal, and has taken place at the CCB, Lisbon, from the 2nd to the 3rd May 2013.
