Nowa rola przedmiotu w choreografiach współczesnych: Witalistyczna materialność w twórczości Aleksandry Borys
Artykuł stanowi próbę poszerzenia polskiego dyskursu teatrologicznego o analizę współczesnych praktyk choreograficznych skoncentrowanych na zagadnieniu wykorzystania przedmiotu w przedstawieniach tanecznych i eksplorujących nowe sposoby rozumienia materialności. Rozważania oparte są na założeniu, że twórcy nowej choreografii postrzegają materię jako aktywny czynnik, który na różne sposoby może być włączany w proces twórczy. Autor przedstawia i interpretuje dwa projekty artystyczne Aleksandry Borys: instalację Air Mapping oraz choreografięDancing the Dance. Prace te zestawia z teorią realizmu agencyjnego Karen Barad. Stara się wykazać, że materia w twórczości Borys może być postrzegana przez pryzmat jej procesualnego charakteru, a nie jako niezmienna podstawa rzeczywistości.

SOBRE COREOGRAFIA EM ROTEIRO/About Choreography in Script
If, traditionally, choreography defines organised movements of human bodies in space-time, recently the concept has undergone updates: as a system of relations foregrounding motion, but not necessarily human, encompassing migratory social behaviour, information flows, migrational dynamics etc.; as a system of rules that organize compositional elements, among which movement but in a non-hierarchical manner. (2011, p. 2) Dentro desse conceito expandido de coreografia, compreendemos a colocação do diretor de videodança inglês, David Hinton, muito conhecido por ter dirigido os filmes Dead Dreams of a Monochrome Men (1990) e Strange Fish (1994), do grupo inglês DV8 Physical Theatre. Acesso em 26.02.2014 2 André Lepecki, em seu livro Exhausting dance: performance and the politics of movement, argumenta que a negação do movimento feita por alguns coreógrafos dos anos 90, como Jérôme Bel, Vera Mantero e Xavier Leroy, deriva de uma crítica à modernidade.

Acts of Memory: Performance in Black Artmaking
[...]studying Black movement and its patterns is a practice and performance that is in conversation with agency and fugitivity. Ataraxy 1s serene or calm; the other is eudaimonia, meaning freedom from bodily pain. Since for Epicurus, the absence of pain or distress was the highest form of pleasure, this conception of eudaimonia was not merely negative.\" The writings of Black Atlantic thinkers address the movement of Black bodies as being in response to a lack of freedom and their presence as being seen as an absence from having a voice or influence on pursuing a good life. The art of choreography or quilting is piecing together to form a whole.

An extensive review of computational dance automation techniques and applications
Dance is an art and when technology meets this kind of art, it is a novel attempt in itself. Many researchers have attempted to automate several aspects of dance, right from dance notation to choreography; from dance capturing to dance generation. We define and illustrate the concept of ‘Dance Automation’ in this paper. Furthermore, we have encountered several applications of dance automation like e-learning, heritage preservation, medical therapy, etc. Despite decades of continuous attempts by many researchers in various styles of dance all round the world, we found a review paper that portrays the research status in this area of ‘dance and computers’ dating to 1990 (Leonardo 1990 Computers and dance: A bibliography, pp. 87–90). Hence, we decided to compose a comprehensive review article that showcases several aspects of dance automation and document contributions of researchers in marrying creativity with logic. This paper is an attempt to review research work reported in the literature, categorize and group significant research work completed in a span of 1967–2020 in the field of automating dance. We have explicitly identified six major categories corresponding to the use of computers in dance automation, namely, dance representation, dance capturing, dance semantics, dance generation, dance processing approaches and applications of dance automation systems. We classified several research papers under these categories according to their research approach and functionality. With the help of proposed categories and subcategories, one can easily determine the state of research and the new avenues left for exploration in the field of dance automation.

To touch the infinity of a far horizon: A transnational history of transcultural appropriation in beth Dean's Corroboree (1954)
In 1954, a ballet inspired by and celebrating Aboriginal dance performance was presented to wide critical acclaim in Australia. The ballet's American choreographer, Beth Dean, danced the lead role of the Boy Initiate, reproducing dance steps and movements which she had recently learnt from Indigenous dancers in central and northern Australia, in combination with classical and contemporary dance steps. Rapturous reviews followed 'Miss Dean' told the story of an Aboriginal boy's 'torm ent ... on her mobile face and responsive body', wrote one reviewer. 'Look at her too long and one gains an unforgettable impression of the primitive, naturalistic fears of the aborigines.' Another reviewer 'saw not a dancer but a member of an ancient tribe'.
