On Temperament, Steps and other Apparatuses of my Choreographic Practice:

Abstract: Similarly to how I write dance, my approach to writing this essay will be descriptive, in such a way developed by Simon Hecquet and Sabine Prokhoris in their book Fabriques de la Danse1. Description for them is a way to construct gazes or manners of seeing2 and not merely the communication of a preexisting gaze. In such, it is a mode of giving accounts to another as well as to oneself. In this giving of accounts, my aim is to dissect some of the choreographic apparatuses I have been developing throughout the years, analyse what they do and if they are useful in fulfilling what I want my work to do. This essay will consider my entire body of works and will especially focus on the current work ’d he meant vary a shin’s, a dance trio for Eva Honings, Lena Schattenberg and myself.
