Choreography+

Choreography+ is a platform for artistic research and critical discourse around expanded choreography, co-developped with Johanna Hilari.

While expanded choreography questions the West-dominated and Enlightenment-grounded idea of an anthropocentric, positedly-neutral, independent, unified subject in dance, it remains a largely Eurocentric phenomenon, exemplified mainly by Western European choreographers and  discussed by Western European theorists and historians, rarely explicitly situating their work in the specificity of Western Europe. Choreography+ dissects expanded choreography to make visible its Eurocentric bias, while repertorying expanded choreographic practices that contain critical potential.

Choreography+ unfolds in a slow temporality, through in-person workshops, analog zines and an evolving online platform, soon accessible under https://choreographyplus.com/.
