Call for papers


'On Choreography' invites artists, practitioners and theorists to submit
critical articles, documents, or artist's pages which position
choreography in relation to the contexts and discourses of contemporary
culture, to expanded and open concepts of performance and
performance-making and in relation to an expanded view of what
choreography might mean now as a generative, productive, or even redundant
term.

In the contexts of European performance arts in particular, choreography
as a term and as a field of activity has shifted radically since the
1990s. Stable and historical definitions of choreography as inscriptions
of movement characterized through compositional approaches to bodily
movement in time and space, have moved towards choreographic approaches
that question such normative relationships between movement, composition
and the production of dance, and expand the notion of choreography as an
art that includes a wider range of conceptual tools, materials and
strategies.

This shift towards the conceptualization of choreography in terms other
than or additional to the arrangement of bodily movement, has produced a
range of performance work (inclusive of such diverse practitioners as
Alice Chauchat, Jerome Bel, Marten Spangberg, Vera Mantero, Xavier Le Roy,
Meg Stuart, Thomas Lehmen, Matthew Goulish, BADCo, Jonathan Burrows,
William Forsythe) that suggests that choreography is a field of
contemporary arts practice that provides not only vectors for new forms of
trans-disciplinary arts research but also a locus for questioning the
orthodoxies of contemporary art work and practice. Through this work
choreography can now be seen to invoke, recuperate and incorporate other
forms of cultural practice (both historical and contemporary).

If choreography begins to challenge conceptions of how bodily movement
produces dance as an object, then it also asks a number of questions which
challenge assumptions about dance and body-based education: Where is the
space of choreography? What concepts of dance, of performance, are
proposed by particular choreographic ideas? How does choreography relate
to notions of language, critical theory, theatricality, textual practice,
performance, digital media, the exploration of cognitive and physical
states?

How is choreography informed through engagement with other critical
vocabularies, for example walking, exhaustion, immateriality, assemblage,
haunting, stillness, speech, joy, mis-guiding, mimicry, power, silence or
dust?
