Dance Creation as Performance Research Study
Dance Creation as Performance Research Study

Summary/Abstract: Knowledge in performance studies is produced through action, interaction, and context rather than simple transmission. It highlights dance creation as a key example, where understanding emerges through embodied practice and collaborative processes. Despite this, educational systems often emphasize technique reproduction over exploratory movement inquiry. The article reframes choreography as a form of performative research, positioning the dance studio as a site of knowledge production. Learning is seen as an active process involving doing, reflection, and performance. By analysing creative pedagogical practices as research events, it shows how bodies can think and generate meaning. Ultimately, dance is presented as a bridge between pedagogy and performance research.
