This book investigates how Pragmatist philosophy as a philosophical
method contributes to the understanding and practice of
interdisciplinary dance research. It uses the author's own
practice-based research project, Later Rain, to illustrate this.
Later Rain is a post-dramatic dance theater work that engages
primarily with issues in the philosophy of religion and
socio-political philosophy. It focuses on ecstatic states that
arise in Appalachian charismatic Pentecostal church services,
states characterized by dancing, paroxysms, shouting, and speaking
in tongues (glossolalia). Research for this work is
interdisciplinary as it draws on studio practice, ethnographic
field work, cultural history, Pentecostal history and theology,
folk aesthetics, anthropological understandings of ecstatic
religious rituals, and dance history regarding acclaimed works that
have sought to present aspects of religious ecstasy on stage; Doris
Humphrey's The Shakers (1931), Mark Godden's Angels in the
Architecture (2012), Martha Clarke's Angel Reapers (2015) and Ralph
Lemon's Geography trilogy (2005). The project thereby demonstrates
a process model of dance philosophy, showing how philosophy and
dance artistry intertwine in a specific creative process.
