Abstract

Examining our collaborative choreographic process and embodied investigation of accomplishment, this article argues that our ongoing performance-making practice offers new insights about a systematized, continual demand for productivity that prioritizes the individual. Focusing on our recent trio of dances, choreographed from 2015 to the present, we propose that our collaborative process and relationship intervene on neo-liberal conditioning within academia and provide a different approach to shared institutional experiences. Our insistence on co-authorship and cooperation, both onstage and on the page, creates an undercurrent of resistance to dominating structures of scholarship and hyper-valuing of individual achievement.
