The research explores the relationship between words and dance in choreographic practice, focusing on the works of Longley and Forti. By intertwining language and motion, unconventional forms of practice are created, challenging traditional expectations and intensifying the connection between bodies of language and bodies of motion. The study discusses how mistranslation between words and dance can lead to the cracking open of disciplinary conventions, allowing for new and innovative approaches to choreography.
