Abstract:

This article introduces the practice of walking-as-dancing. In this article, the terms walk and walking are often considered as synonymous with wandering since the practice of walking-as-dancing that I will describe does not have a set goal. When walking-as-dancing, I explore the improvisational nature of a wandering movement that allows me to let go of certainty and attune to the not-yet-known. I define the body as a compass that guides us through the path of the curriculum-as-lived (Aoki, 1993) and the curriculum itself. Through the analysis of the practice of walking-as-dancing, I will show

Abstract:

This paper describes and analyses a drawing practice in a research project on corporeality and gesture, with a view to designing objects and spaces. This research, carried out at the École nationale supérieure d’art et de design de Nancy (France), questions our presence with things and others, the sharing of space and the world, by questioning the gestures that underpin them. Drawing is one of these gestures. Its pedagogical aims are pragmatic and practical: to question our physicality in artistic training and to provide prescriptive elements, i.e. methods and techniques of looking, reading, w

Abstract:

My essay incorporates Irigaray's notion of the sensible transcendental, a dynamic attempt to reconstitute the body/mind dualism which founds Western thought, into a reading of the practice of European concert dance. I contend that Irigaray's efforts toward articulating a language of the body as active agent have much to offer (feminist) analyses of dance practice, and develop this claim through a reading which reflects philosophically on the changing nature of my own dance activity.

Abstract:

In this article, I describe the experience of dancing-a-walk. My specific focus is on the shift that I perceive in my body when I dance-a-walk rather than functionally walking. Following a firstperson perspective, I demonstrate how my experience of practicing dancing-a-walk interrogates the habit of walking and makes it come alive again as an expression of the body. First, I show how the practice of dancing-a-walk challenges the dichotomy between abstract and concrete movement proposed by Maurice Merleau-Ponty in the Phenomenology of Perception. Indeed, dancing-a-walk is an example of a concre

Abstract:

Dancing is an activity that positively enhances the mood of people that consists of feeling the music and expressing it in rhythmic movements with the body. Learning how to dance can be challenging because it requires proper coordination and understanding of rhythm and beat. In this paper, we present the first implementation of the Dancing Coach (DC), a generic system designed to support the practice of dancing steps, which in its current state supports the practice of basic salsa dancing steps. However, the DC has been designed to allow the addition of more dance styles. We also present the f

Abstract Theatre, dancing and singing are arts born out of a common body that share the same idea and means of expression - the human body, these arts manifesting through the most important condition - the artist. The openings exhibited in the theatrical space, spiritless in some people, pragmatic in others, pass on the intimate message of dancing: substance, essence, density.

Abstract At the end of the nineteenth century, the French school of modern neurology together with its leading representative Jean-Martin Charcot (182593) carried out controversial clinical studies on hysteria at the Salpêtrière Hospital, including the famed weekly public demonstrations of female hysterics, which had a profound influence on the development of modern performing practices and the discourse of their critical reception. The text thus focuses especially on the constitution of modern hysteria as a historical continuation of the alternative dance history of the ancient and Middle Age

Abstract:

This autoethnographic video essay is based on The Shadow of Others, a performance presented in the seven-storey Sir Duncan Rice Library in Aberdeen (Scotland) in May 2017. Focusing on the phenomenology of the dancing body, the performance unfolded the complexity and richness of gestures. Departing from the assumption that a soloist moves with their shadows (gestures from previous dances), I argue for the plural shaping every singular gesture. Combining dance and anthropology, this video essay revisits the notions of archive, repertoire and anarchive, and proposes a reflection on the intermingl

This article traces a process of combining dance and narrative text into performance ethnography. It focuses on how interviews collected during an ongoing research project on serious contemporary dancers' experiences with injuries can ‘be danced’ in a research presentation. The author reflects how the empirical material from the interviews informed a narrative text that, combined with contemporary dance choreography interpreted through Deleuzian rhizomatic analysis, was included into live performance ethnography. The author concludes with a need for an on-going experimentation with the dancing

Abstract:

The articles in this first installment of a series on choreography that considers the relationship between philosophy and dance interrogate conceptions of the body, movement, and language. Translated for the first time into English, the selection by José Gil reads the dancing body as paradoxical through the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari; and the chapter by Peter Sloterdijk examines modernity's impulse toward movement and posits a critical theory of mobilization. An interview with choreographer Hooman Sharifi accompanies a meditation on his recent performance.

Abstract:

The notion of the body as “a medium of culture” (Bordo, 1990, p. 13), and specifically the female body as a site on which the oppression of patriarchy is inscribed or played out has been discussed by many feminist theorists (Bartky, 1988; Bordo, 1990; Dimen, 1989). More recently there has been increasing interest in the material body as a source of kinesthetic pleasure rather than, or simultaneously as, a site of inscription and oppression. In searching for new ways to think and talk about the body, there is a recognition that it cannot be seen simply as either a site of oppression or pleasure

Drawing from their work, I call for a neo-realist understanding of the virtual capacities of the dancing body, so we can move history beyond ordinarily conceived politics and introduce not yet imagine

Ballroom dances are paired, a man and a woman form a couple, as well as two women (“lady and lady”) and two men (“man and man”). In addition to doubles, there are single competitions “Solo Ladies”, where ladies perform dances without a partner. Ballroom dancing or dance sports has become very popular among
