Project Details
Description
An ongoing practice-led research project that explores dance practice in the context of human chronic pain and wider environmental pain and ‘suffering’ (Haraway, 2016). The project brings together choreography, performance, disability studies, crip thinking, philosophies of pain, and ecological theories.
This project has so far involved multiple publications (peer reviewed articles and book chapters), conference presentations, a Carnegie Research Incentive grant, which supported consultancy and a series of residencies with dance artists with chronic pain, collaborative research with leading chronic pain choreographer Raquel Meseguer Zafe, and creating and touring the critically acclaimed body of work, Pain and I, which was awarded the International FQD Choreography Prize in Canada 2023.
Upcoming residencies to further this research include the Bothy Project.
