From the staging of objects to motions in urban space, choreography expands beyond dance-making and the moving human body. The history of choreography also encompasses non-dancerly, non-embodied, non-kinetic practices, ranging from notation to dramaturgy and composition. This project activated the term “expanded choreography” to explore bidirectional relations between contemporary and historical instances of choreography not complying with a corporeal, kinetic, or dancerly focus. Travelling from the Renaissance to contemporaneity, it looked at choreographic expansion as a territory in which the semantic scope of choreography can shift, pleading for the necessity of recognising choreographic plurality, with different conceptions of choreography forming – both in contemporaneity and in history – a constellation of multiple specificities.
