With artistic research at its heart, Choreo-graphic Figures: Deviations from the Line stages a beyond disciplinary, inter-subjective encounter between the lines of choreography, drawing and writing. Its core focus is to explore those forms of thinking-in-action produced through collaborative exchange, in the slippage and deviation when different modes of practice enter into dialogue, overlap, collide.
The publication is conceived as a studio-laboratory in itself,
drawing together critical reflections and experimental practices that focus on
the how-ness —
the qualitative-processual, aesthetic-epistemological and ethico-empathetic
dynamics — within shared artistic exploration, directing attention to an
affective realm of forces and intensities existing before, between and beneath
the more readable gestures of artistic practice. Cultivating
sensitivity towards the barely perceptible micro-movements within the process
of artistic ‘sense-making’ has wider structural — even political — implications
at the level of the macro, encouraging the de-, re- and trans-figuring of our
ways of being in the world, inviting new forms of relationality, sociality and
solidarity. Hybrid of an artists’ book and research compendium, Choreo-graphic
Figures: Deviations from the Line invokes
action by operating as a score that can be activated by others, providing
artists, theorists and creative practitioners with a modular toolkit of
performative and notational approaches for future experimental play.
