There is no archive or museum of human movement, no place where
choreographies can be collected and conserved in pristine form. The
central consequence of this is the incapacity of philosophy and
aesthetics to think of dance as a positive and empirical art. In
the eyes of philosophers, dance refers to a space other than art,
considered both more frivolous and more fundamental than the
artwork without ever quite attaining the status of a work.
Unworking Choreography develops this idea and postulates an
unworking as evidenced by a conspicuous absence of references to
actual choreographic works within philosophical accounts of dance;
the late development and partial dominance of the notion of the
work in dance in contrast to other art forms such as painting,
music, and theatre; the difficulties in identifying dance works
given a lack of scores and an apparent resistance within the art
form to the possibility of notation; and the questioning of ends of
dance in contemporary practice and the relativisation of the very
idea that dance artistic or choreographic processes aim at work
production.
