Of Crossroads and Undercurrents: Ingemar Lindh's Practice of Collective Improvisation and Jerzy Grotowski
In this article Frank Camilleri discusses the historical and professional links between Ingemar Lindh and Jerzy Grotowski, with a specific focus on the nature and implications of their separate work on physical action. Lindh's practice, particularly his research on the ‘disinterested act’, is read in the context of Grotowski's ‘doing’ in Art as Vehicle. The individual work of the two practitioners on vocal and vibration techniques is seen as integral to their research on physical action. Frank Camilleri is Senior Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Studies at the University of Kent and Artistic Director of Icarus Performance Project (Malta). He served as Academic Coordinator of Theatre Studies at the University of Malta from 2004 to 2008, and in 2007 co-founded Icarus Publishing Enterprise with Odin Teatret and the Grotowski Institute
Annotated Images of Group-Housed Mice
This is the Detections subset of the Tracking and Identification Dataset (TIDe) as described in our paper "Persistent Animal Identification Leveraging Non-Visual Markers" [1] and used in the PhD Thesis "Automated Identification and Behaviour Classification for Modelling Social Dynamics in Group-Housed Mice" 2023 [2].
It grew out of a collaboration with the Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell, with the need to automatically detect mice in single-channel infra-red videos of the home-cage.
The challenge lies in the level of occlusion due to the group-housed mice in the enriched home-cage.
We provide herein an annotated dataset containing video-frames (as jpeg images) and annotations of mouse and tunnel detections (in CoCo format).
The dataset can be used to train and evaluate object detectors. Further details are available at https://github.com/michael-camilleri/TIDe.

It is aimed at training and evaluating mouse detectors. Further details are provided at https://github.com/michael-camilleri/TIDe.The dataset follows the CoCo format, with the annotations in json files.
The annotations are stored separately for each datasplit: Train.json, Validate.json and Test.json
The images from all three datasplits (Train/Validate/Test) are stored in the same directory (images.zip) and numbered sequentially from 0 to 4585 (name is formatted with 5 leading zeros).

Nutrient Diffusing Substrata (NDS) with control, +nitrogen, +phosphorus, and +nitrogen and phosphorus treatments were deployed at 28 sites along the coast of Lake Superior, northern Lake Michigan, and Green Bay. Control NDS cups contained just 2% agar by weight while +nitrogen, +phosphorus, and +nitrogen and phosphorus treatments contained the agar and 0.5 M NH4Cl, KH2PO4, or both, respectively. Experiments were deployed between July 11-31, 2017 and retrieved 28-29 days later between August 8-28, 2017.

Chapter Cambiare opinione (o quasi) su Camilleri
The author takes the opportunity of the celebrations in honor of Annamaria Pagliaro to return to the works of Andrea Camilleri, confirming some perplexities already expressed in an article from 1998, especially regarding his detective novels. On other aspects of Camilleri’s works, however, the author’s opinions have changed. In this new critical work, the author took into account the works subsequently published by Camilleri, especially the narrative masterpiece Il re di Girgenti, but also his public role and the relationship he was able to establish with his faithful readers
Tekhn? Sessions: investigating dynamic aliveness in the actor's work
This essay documents a practice-based investigation of the space between training and performance processes. The interplay between structure and improvisation within a reiterative cycle of exercises and tasks provided the base for an exploration of a central aspect in the actor's work underlined by the term ‘dynamic aliveness’. This ongoing investigation was initiated in 2003 under the name of Tekhn? Sessions. Tekhn?'s investigation of dynamic aliveness emerged from three different yet related contexts: the technical training of Jerzy Grotowski, the performance vision of Ingemar Lindh, and the aesthetic of the sublime of Jean-François Lyotard. An overview of the context and of the informing technical principles that led to the design of the Tekhn? structure paves the way for a description of its informing principles, format, and applications. The agency of structure, the dynamics of improvisation, and the presence of observers, are identified as conditions of possibility for dynamic aliveness
Azione di classe a tutela dei consumatori e comportamenti anticoncorrenziali: criticità (e velleità) di un tentativo di trade-off
The essay concerns the italian disciplin on the opt-in class actions, as ruled by article 140 bis of consumer code, with special reference its recourse for damages actions downstream an anticompetitive behaviour. The Author examines the main cornerstones of the collective redress mechanism, also in comparison with other foreign experiences, such as the US federal one , by focusing on its pros and cons of the domestic regime, mainly the bottleneck for the access to the remedy (the requirements for assessing whether the "class" exists or not) and the likely outcome of a equitative quantification of individual damages to be awarded. The latter, in particilular, is addressed as an embedded deterrent to the recourse to the collective remed
Hospitality and the Ethics of Improvisation in the Work of Ingemar Lindh
Ingemar Lindh's work on the principles of collective improvisation has crucial implications for the history of twentieth-century laboratory theatre. His early work with Étienne Decroux and Jerzy Grotowski contributed to the development of a unique practice that resists directorial montage, fixed scores, and choreography; and the ethical dimension that accompanies Lindh's research on collective improvisation is illuminating for a more holistic understanding of the technical and aesthetic considerations in theatre. In this article, Frank Camilleri discusses some of the key aspects of this dimension, notably the dynamics of hospitality and encounter that inform Lindh's approach and the question of responsibility in the actor's work. Frank Camilleri is Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Studies at the University of Kent. From 2004 to 2008 he was Academic Coordinator of Theatre Studies at the University of Malta. He is also Artistic Director of Icarus Performance Project – an ongoing research laboratory that investigates the intermediary space between training and performance processes. Camilleri's work with Lindh in the mid-1990s was instrumental for the development of this research practice

Persistent animal identification leveraging non-visual markers: Tracking and Identification Dataset - Identifications Subset (TIDe-I)
This DataShare dataset pertains to Identification of group-housed mice as documented in the Thesis "Automated Identification and Behaviour Classification for Modelling Social Dynamics in Group-Housed Mice" (2023) by Michael Camilleri. It grew out of a collaboration with the Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell, with the need to automatically identify group-housed mice using only position cues obtained from RFID tags. This sets the problem apart from the usual re-identification challenge, due to the mice have no visual markers to identify them. The challenge is compounded by the multiple mice which must be tracked/identified and the level of occlusion. We provide herein an annotated dataset containing mouse videos, pre-generated bounding-boxes and annotations of identifications at 4s intervals. The dataset can be used to train and evaluate identification methods. Further details are available at https://github.com/michael-camilleri/TIDe. The paper describing our work appears as: M. P. J. Camilleri, L. Zhang, R. S. Bains, A. Zisserman, and C. K. I. Williams, Persistent Animal Identification Leveraging Non-Visual Markers, CoRR (arXiv), cs.CV (2112.06809), Dec. 2021. [Available on arXiv](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.06809.pdf)."Information about the datasplit (Train/Validate/Test) is provided in the 'Datasplits.df' dataframe.
The annotations are stored as one pandas dataframe, 'Annotations.df'.
The rest of the data is grouped with the segment from which it originates, and contains: (a) 'Positions.df': Pandas dataframe of per-mouse RFID-based Positions, (b) 'Detections.df;: Pandas dataframe of (anonymous) mouse Detections, and, (c) 'Video.mp4': IR video recording.
