Abstract

This article describes the practising of a weekly group dance improvisation practice that has been taking place for more than ten years. The practice was/is instigated by Olivia Millard resulting from a three-year Ph.D. exploration. Although the practice is based in Millard’s own dance interests, the practice is not aimed at ‘teaching’ this practice or suggesting that this model of practising should be adopted or ‘learned’. Instead, the (non-deliberate) teaching that takes place emphasizes the ongoing act of practising itself. This article explores the embodied experiences of practising over time in two parts. The first is written by Millard who describes the way the practising is tied to the use of scores and how the significance of the practising lies in the regular doing of the same thing, over and over again. The second part of the article is written by a long-term participant, Ashlee Barton, who writes from the point of view of participating in this practice regularly and consistently over such a long period of time.

练习相同:在一个长期的舞蹈即兴练习中
本文介绍了十多年来每周进行的集体舞蹈即兴练习的练习情况。这一做法是由奥利维亚·米勒德发起的,源于她三年的博士研究。虽然这个练习是基于米勒德自己的舞蹈兴趣,但这个练习的目的不是“教授”这种练习,也不是建议人们应该采用或“学习”这种练习模式。相反,这种(非刻意的)教学强调的是练习本身的持续行为。本文分两部分探讨了随时间推移的实践经验。第一个是由米勒德写的,他描述了练习是如何与分数的使用联系在一起的,以及练习的意义如何在于定期做同样的事情,一遍又一遍。文章的第二部分是由长期参与者Ashlee Barton撰写的,他从长期参与这种实践的角度进行了写作。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Dance and Somatic Practices is an international refereed journal published twice a year. It has been in publication since 2009 for scholars and practitioners whose research interests focus on the relationship between dance and somatic practices, and the influence that this body of practice exerts on the wider performing arts. In recent years, somatic practices have become more central to many artists'' work and have become more established within educational and training programmes. Despite this, as a body of work it has remained largely at the margins of scholarly debate, finding its presence predominantly through the embodied knowledge of practitioners and their performative contributions. This journal provides a space to debate the work, to consider the impact and influence of the work on performance and discuss the implications for research and teaching. The journal serves a broad international community and invites contributions from a wide range of discipline areas. Particular features include writings that consciously traverse the boundaries between text and performance, taking the form of ‘visual essays'', interviews with leading practitioners, book reviews, themed issues and conference/symposium reports.
