Kommentar/Beschreibung

In this seminar, we explore choreography through the question of lines. We ask what walking, weaving, storytelling, singing, drawing, writing, and choreographing have in common, not metaphorically, but as material, historical, and political practices that shape movement in space and time.
Drawing on anthropologist Tim Ingold’s idea that human practices proceed along lines, we approach lines as traces of movement, labor, discipline, care, and control. In choreography, lines are not neutral pathways or aesthetic devices. They structure how bodies move, where they are allowed to go, how they are trained, and how movement is remembered or erased. Lines do not simply connect, they order. They produce repetition and hierarchy, and they carry histories of gendered labor, colonial extraction, institutional training, and aesthetic normativity.
From this perspective, choreography is not only the composition of movement, but a technology of inscription. Bodies are written through training, correction, repetition, notation, and documentation. Writing is therefore not external to choreography, and choreography is not separate from writing. Both operate through selection, framing, and erasure. Text is not merely commentary on movement, it is one of its material conditions.
To make this relation concrete, we focus on text and textile practices, drawing on feminist approaches to writing. Weaving, stitching, knotting, and mending are forms of writing with matter. A feminist and postcolonial perspective allows us to ask whose lines become visible, whose remain hidden, and whose are actively erased. Which movements are recognized as choreography, and which remain categorized as craft, ritual, or work. Which bodies are allowed to trace lines in public space, and which are policed or disciplined.
