Abstract
This article explores the importance, and political agency of durational, experiential and process-based creative practice and pedagogical methodologies. I argue these methods resist capitalist models of productivity and efficiency by minimizing the importance of determined outcomes or ‘products’. In turn, this commitment to durational teaching/learning can connect us to different ways of being – promoting a different kind of exchange with the world, and what we expect in return.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dance and Somatic Practices is an international refereed journal published twice a year. It has been in publication since 2009 for scholars and practitioners whose research interests focus on the relationship between dance and somatic practices, and the influence that this body of practice exerts on the wider performing arts. In recent years, somatic practices have become more central to many artists'' work and have become more established within educational and training programmes. Despite this, as a body of work it has remained largely at the margins of scholarly debate, finding its presence predominantly through the embodied knowledge of practitioners and their performative contributions. This journal provides a space to debate the work, to consider the impact and influence of the work on performance and discuss the implications for research and teaching. The journal serves a broad international community and invites contributions from a wide range of discipline areas. Particular features include writings that consciously traverse the boundaries between text and performance, taking the form of ‘visual essays'', interviews with leading practitioners, book reviews, themed issues and conference/symposium reports.
