Abstract
The thinking in this short report emerged from the author’s participation as an online learner in the TBI 101 course on Mabel Elsworth Todd by Pamela Matt, The Thinking Body Institute. Participation in this course, during a Ph.D. internship period at C-DaRE, Coventry University as a visiting researcher in 2018, prompted reflections on e-learning and feelings of embodied or disembodied experience, particularly in close connection to the author’s doctoral research on sensory and creative possibilities of a somatic approach to improvisation in performer training. This report reviews the pedagogical and technological challenges of the TBI 101 study programme in order to better understand the potential connections between (dis)embodied research and online learning, and to offer a foundation for a somatic point of view on e-learning. The thinking offered here investigates different levels of (dis)embodied engagement, suggesting it is dependent on the synergy of the participant’s learning style, the technological platform and the pedagogical approach.
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.
