Title | Sensualities: experiencing/dancing/writing |
Authors | Midgelow, V. |
Abstract | Through this article I articulate the interplay between writing and improvisational dancing to describe a methodology for an embodied, sensual and experiential mode of writing/dancing in which the boundaries between these two disciplines are blurred. Through a consideration of this writing practice, I argue that, as a form of knowing, it offers an implicit challenge to the normalised economy of academic discourse. Developing out of a ‘practice as research’ project undertaken within The Choreographic Lab (University of Northampton), the article includes extracts of the work ‘Dear Practice …’, in which I, as ‘dancer’, enter into a series of exchanges in the form of letters with my improvisation ‘practice’. |
