MemoRekall is a free and open-source web app to annotate a video enhanced by adding notes, documents, or web links. Originally conceived for the preservation and documentation of performing arts, two European citizen science projects (COSMIC and COESO) lead to broaden its uses and develop new functionalities. Both projects share the same methodological approach, based on action research and co-design. This paper will present this co-construction methodology, at the heart of MemoRekall's development from the outset, how it impacted the two new versions of MemoRekall, and its contribution to the study of collaboration in the context of citizen science projects.

This document is one of the documentations of Dancing Philosophy, that is the central work of the Pilot 2 of the European project on citizen sciences COESO. It documents the collaborative research work developed by Cosetta Graffione, dancer and choreographer, and Stefania Ferrando, philosopher. Based on philosophical questions, Dancing Philosophy experiments “new ways of knowing through speech and dance” (quote from the COESO D2.6 report of Stefania Ferrando: “The movement of an embodied thought”, June 29th 2022).
