Abstract
‘Dancing through the vege patch’ is an artist essay in the voice of choreographer Gregory Lorenzutti that provides readers with a reflection on Theatrum Botanicum: an interdisciplinary project which combined dance and holistic urban farming, commissioned for the third year Bachelors of Fine Arts in dance performance at the Victoria College of the Arts (VCA), University of Melbourne, 2022. Drawn from a series of interviews conducted before, during and after the creation of Theatrum Botanicum; choreographer, photographer and urban farmer, Gregory Lorenzutti provides insights into the relationship between knowledge production, place-based dance pedagogy and interdisciplinary practice with a particular focus on its role in tertiary education. In doing so, Lorenzutti reveals how creative methodologies can slip between disciplines and artistic forms to invigorate practice and deepen the relationship between body, space and place. This artist essay – emerging in and through a series of conversations – seeks to better transmit the embodied and affective dimensions of learning through interdisciplinary practices in dance.
期刊介绍:
Choreographic Practices operates from the principle that dance embodies ideas and can be productively enlivened when considered as a mode of critical and creative discourse. This double-blind peer-reviewed journal provides a platform for sharing choreographic practices, critical inquiry and debate. Placing an emphasis on processes and practices over products, this journal seeks to engender dynamic relationships between theory and practice, choreographer and scholar, so that these distinctions may be shifted and traversed. Choreographic Practices will encompass a wide range of methodologies and critical perspectives such that interdisciplinary processes in performance can be understood as they intersect with other territories in the arts and beyond (for example, cultural studies, psychology, phenomenology, geography, philosophy and economics). In this way, the journal will open up the nature and scope of dance practice as research and draw together diverse bodies of knowledge and ways of knowing to illuminate an emerging and vibrant research area.
