Unchoreographing the Docile Body — TASHA HESS-NEUSTADT

Unchoreographing the Docile Body (2020)

a three part research project in completion of the London Contemporary Dance School’s Bachelors dissertation

Via formal essay, illustrated zine, and personal journal, Unchoreographing the Docile Body seeks to question the systems and structures that dancing bodies operate within, around, and under.

Through this questioning, the project proposes conceptual and strategic modes to reject the docile body structure in an embodied rebellion.

The full project is available to view on Padlet
