Choreography: Autonomies (ed.)

"Choreography: Autonomies"

Autonomy is construed here as sovereignty – the opportunity to freely decide about oneself, including the opportunity to voice one’s opinion, to decide upon the mode of self-organization, and to propose one’s own solutions, constituting an alternative to the dominant models - and this is how it constitutes the condition of proposing and establishing political changes. Choreography is working on its autonomy in a constant process of negotiation, in seeping between domains, fields and practices. Gaining autonomy relies here on working out one’s own language, on sketching the map of one’s own territory and on the quest of its agency forms. And it is in these three strands that we have chosen as the through lines of the present book.
