Abstract

This article consists of six text–image pieces that share practical research into modes of moving, perceiving and thinking through the back and extended notions of dorsality. Since 2019, through workshops, studio residencies, presentations and collaborative moving, conversational, drawing and writing practices, I have been developing physical exercises and choreographic devices for tuning into the back, bringing attention to and exploring the unseen surfaces and axial technologies of the back. These dorsal practices are evolving through movement and sensory research as well as opening a wider set of philosophical concepts and possibilities for orientating in and co-habiting a world amongst other bodies and things. The pieces combine short written texts, sidenotes and images. The texts have evolved from sensory observation in practical movement tasks and conversations, in the form of notes and recordings, often working in a dynamic process between embodied experience, memory and imagination. The footnotes are a playful device for allowing other peripheral ideas such as light, moth, vestibular labyrinth, tree, tracing paper, ghost, voice, front-crawling to enter and generate gaps for the reader in which to linger, skip, skim, imagine, (re)connect. The still images, diagrams and drawings are another way of taking note, testing, proposing, articulating and reading.

这篇文章由六篇文本-图像文章组成，分享了对通过背部和延伸的背部概念移动、感知和思考模式的实践研究。自2019年以来，通过研讨会、工作室驻留、演示和协作移动、对话、绘画和写作练习，我一直在开发用于调节背部的体育锻炼和舞蹈设备，引起人们对背部看不见的表面和轴向技术的关注和探索。这些背部实践正在通过运动和感官研究进行演变，并为在其他身体和事物中定位和共处世界开辟了更广泛的哲学概念和可能性。这些作品结合了简短的文字、旁注和图像。文本是从实际动作任务和对话中的感官观察演变而来的，以笔记和录音的形式出现，通常在具体体验、记忆和想象之间的动态过程中工作。脚注是一种有趣的装置，允许其他外围思想，如光、蛾、前庭迷宫、树、描迹纸、鬼、声音、前方爬行，进入并为读者产生间隙，让读者在其中徘徊、跳跃、浏览、想象、（重新）连接。静止图像、图表和图画是另一种记录、测试、提议、表达和阅读的方式。

期刊介绍： Choreographic Practices operates from the principle that dance embodies ideas and can be productively enlivened when considered as a mode of critical and creative discourse. This double-blind peer-reviewed journal provides a platform for sharing choreographic practices, critical inquiry and debate. Placing an emphasis on processes and practices over products, this journal seeks to engender dynamic relationships between theory and practice, choreographer and scholar, so that these distinctions may be shifted and traversed. Choreographic Practices will encompass a wide range of methodologies and critical perspectives such that interdisciplinary processes in performance can be understood as they intersect with other territories in the arts and beyond (for example, cultural studies, psychology, phenomenology, geography, philosophy and economics). In this way, the journal will open up the nature and scope of dance practice as research and draw together diverse bodies of knowledge and ways of knowing to illuminate an emerging and vibrant research area.
