Dancing Interventions - A Feminist New Materialist Engagement in Three Dance Stories

Abstract

Dancing Interventions examines how subject positions are negotiated in a dance studio, looking at modes of corporeality, collectivity and space. The project works through a feminist new materialist perspective, engaging in three different dance stories through open interview situations, allowing for corporeal and verbal conversations. On a methodological level, Dancing Interventions investigates linguistic and corporeal relations, the meanings of being physically involved in the body of a text. Discovering complex and creative material-discursive becomings and dance processes generating agency through movement, Dancing Interventions wishes to emphasize the importance of corporeal safe spaces where multi-differentiated subjectivities can develop through modes of corporeality, trust and collective engagement in dance.
