Told from the perspective of the dancers, "Processing Choreography:
Thinking with William Forsythe's Duo" is an ethnography reconstructing
the dancers' activity within William Forsythe's "Duo" project, written
legibly for readers in dance studies, the social sciences, and dance
practice. Considering how the choreography of "Duo" emerges through
practice and changes over two decades of history (1996-2018), Elizabeth
Waterhouse offers a nuanced picture of creative cooperation and
institutionalized process-arguing for choreography as a nexus of people,
im/material practices, contexts, and relations. As a former Forsythe
dancer herself, the author gives novel insight into this choreographic
community.
