| Abstract: | Have you ever considered the morphology of the body whilst jumping? Have you ever experienced the process of becoming whilst spinning? In this performed paper, in which I alternate between movement improvisation and a discursive dialogue, I investigate the nature of dance improvisation, seeking out multiple embodiments to chart improvisatory performances as ‘Practice as Research’. Teasing out the topography, and indeed the corpography, of the artist/academic nexus in improvised dance performance to present a case for an ontology of the body in which theory is embedded in the improvised practices of the dancing body in a conscious, embodied and critical manner |
