"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."
