[Candrama] Call for Papers: Embodied Dramaturgy Edited Anthology

[Jessica Friedman]

*CALL FOR PAPERS!*

*Embodied Dramaturgy: Liminal Movement in Dance and Theatre*.



Liminality is tied to movement. In liminal spaces, nothing is fixed. This
anthology examines the in-between spaces of embodied dramaturgy. We
understand the role of dramaturgy, like the body, as one of in-betweenness,
process, and becoming. We agree with Sarah Peters that “embodied dramaturgy
acknowledges the capacity of the body to communicate meaning through
physicality, presence and performativity and describes a method for
engaging the body experientially in dramaturgical practice and
investigation” in ways that aid guided meaning making for audiences (*IATC
Journal*: December 2023, Issue No. 28). The body in this method becomes a
site of action where the players engage experientially with context,
themes, history, and rhythms of scripted, choreographed, and devised
material.



We are looking for scholarship on dramaturgical approaches to the
following:



·       *Embodiment and the Creation of Knowledge*

o   the body and technology

o   embodied knowledge as a source of (counter)production

o   psychosomatic experiential sensory approaches to dramaturgical research

·       *Textual Embodiment*

o   structures of writing about movement (how do words move?)

o   how artists narrate their movement

o   kinesthetic interaction with scripted material

·       *Embodiment in/and Space*

o   stage adaptability as a state of becoming

o   the creation of spaces that engender embodiment

o   gap spaces between that call for unique sense-making

o   bodies interacting in conversation with site-specific space

·       *The Stories Bodies Tell*

o   narrative dance

o   writing through the body

o   tracking choreographic rhythm patterns

o   theorizing story embodiment

·       *And more pertinent to the history, theory, and practice of
embodied dramaturgy*
