About this exposition

With Dance Play I refer to a set of activities in which play and dance intermingle with each other. Playing becomes dancing. Dancing becomes playing. Play is an aesthetic process which creates new meanings (Linqvist, 2001, p.42). The same is true for dance. Play, just as dance, is never purely re-production: it is creative action (Linqvist, 2001. In this research project I first collected several spontaneous dance events of my daughter (Hotel Dance, Living Room Dance and Beach Dance). This material was then handed over to Paula Ferreira Guzzanti, a dance practitioner and researcher based in Ireland. Through re-enactment of the original material, I aim to explore how affects and intensities can travel through different bodies.
