Moving Together: Intra- and Intergenerational Dance Performing Citizenship
Brown, Carol; Knight, Linda; Battersby, Clare; Roche, Jenny
International Journal of Education & the Arts, v24 n3 Feb 2023
In this article, we focus on dance as intra- and intergenerational learning that cultivates corporeal knowledge held in common. Three interrelated projects reveal how danced connections between life stages develops an aesthetics of complex interaction and a mutuality of learning that enacts citizenry through communities in motion in the urban-scape. The projects approach dance practice through an expanded concept of choreography that takes into account the site, situation and life stage of dancers. We propose that moving together is a social choreography, a method for developing body-place awareness and civic participation, sharing experiences and bodily practices and performing relational complexity.
