This exposition forms part of a chapter entitled ‘Choreo-graphic Writing – Towards More-Than-One Means of Inscription’ by Emma Cocker, Nikolaus Gansterer and Mariella Greil, published in Leena Rouhiainen, Kirsi Heimonen, Rebecca Hilton and Chrysa Parkinson (eds.), Writing Choreography: Extending the Conventions of Dance (Routledge, 2023). Abstract for the chapter: Choreo-graphic Figures - Deviations from the Line is an artistic research project by writer-artist Emma Cocker, artist-performer Nikolaus Gansterer and dancer-choreographer Mariella Greil, for exploring those modes of thinking-feeling-knowing emerging between the lines of choreography, drawing and writing. This research project involved the cultivation of various modes of “choreo-graphic writing” [more-than-one / means of inscription] at the interstice of choreography, drawing and writing, the evolution of experimental language practices as artistic research. Drawing on various “practices” and “figures” developed within Choreo-graphic Figures, Cocker, Gansterer and Greil explore how different performative, sensuous and experimental textual practices and bodily inscriptions emerge as immanent means of articulation for that which remains strictly beyond words: the embodied, relational, affective and material sensitivities and sensibilities of collaborative, co-emergent sense-making taking place in and through the interaction between bodies, between human and non-human agencies. The chapter comprises two parts: PART I — an “exposition” (encountered here) showing how Cocker, Gansterer and Greil performed choreography/writing beyond the page within the context of Choreo-graphic Figures presented online using the Research Catalogue (RC), an online platform for publishing artistic research; PART II — an “essay” (within the printed publication, Writing Choreography: Extending the Conventions of Dance (Routledge, 2023) for exploring the different resonances of and implications for these various approaches to choreo-graphic writing. The exposition is designed in dialogue with Simona Koch.
