This text relates to Choreographic Composition research, not with the focus on creating choreography, but focusing on the elements of choreographic making, and how its concepts can be expanded, dissolved and reorganised, either in the dance field or otherwise.
Choreographic elements can be important components in supporting transdisciplinary dialogues as there are points within choreographic making that could contaminate/relate to the poetic practices of other SoC colleagues.
What would it be like to look into other people’s creative processes through choreographic ideas? How to evoke and establish movement elements within a transdisciplinary field?
I am interested in crossing the boundaries of choreographic making: dissolving convictions, softening memories, and experimenting with movement/choreographic elements in order to navigate between the choreographic world and the colleagues’ research. I am interested in sending, via post, handwritten letters that are in dialogue/affect the creative processes of SoC colleagues.
After carefully analysing each SoC’s proposal, the letters would bring choreographic elements to provoke/resonate with them. A letter received could suggest:
“Make a gesture/movement that dialogues with your project.”
“Photograph this movement”
“Film yourself talking in slow motion about your own research”
“Write something really wrong about your own work”
“Analyse the musicality of your own wrong text
“Make a drawing/graphic that dialog with this action”.
The main goal in this experience is to establish a bond where the letters can provoke dialogue and make us think collectively about the flexible borders that support our choreographic making.
