"Attempting

to

transcribe

the

experience

of

performing

and

watching

dance

is

an

important

part

of

developing

a

language

for

and

of

the

body

in

motion.

Language

is

powerful:

it

frames

much

of

our

experience

of

the

world

and

of

ourselves.

By

neglecting

movement

and

dance

across

contemporary

art

writing

practices,

we

risk

voiding

our

expressive

vocabulary

and

excluding

a

prominent

field

from

the

conversation.

Dance

offers

an

interplay

of

contextual,

linguistic,

and

memorial

possibilities

to

writers,

and

the

meshing

of

dance

performance

and

contemporary

art

provides

a

democratic

access

point

for

writers

and

readers

alike.

The

language

of

the

body

speaks

to

everyone,

and

everyone

can

write

the

dance."
