Szenarien des Entwerfens

Abstract

The contribution aims to look at the figure of the scenario as a format directed toward the future, which introduces into the choreographic process the potential agencies of singular materials and media, procedures and practices. On the one hand, the scenario connects to the context of its emergence and on the other, it emphasizes the unpredictable which occurs within the relationality of singular agencies and their assemblages. The various practices of scenography open up the spatial dimension of choreographic assignments and their negotiation within the occurring arrangements. To examine these different ideas and link them to each other, the essay looks at William Forsythe’s ‚Human Writes‘ and explores the concept of his choreographic objects as a mode of expanded choreography, as well Meg Stuart’s ‚sketches / notebook‘ as an interdisciplinary ritual.
