This chapter explores the intersection of choreography and writing, where words emerge from witnessing dancing and choreographic phrases arise from written and spoken texts. The performance h u m a t t e r i n g incorporates carefully recorded and edited texts in conversation with live voice, blending choreographic writing with music and theatrical elements.
