Incorporating Creative Technologies: A choreography for the ears

In a time of life where the body is often dematerialized, de-centred and fragmented and the material world seems exhausted, the practice discussed in this article investigates the potential of choreography as a strategy for coming together and an attunement to place and time. Practice-led creative research is presented as a series of sonic choreographies that resituate choreography through thresholds of body, place and prosthetic technology. The participatory nature of the choreographies discussed in this article challenge the notion of the spectacle through a recovery of listening and processes of collaborative encounter. The language of the threshold as it meets headphonic sound, language and the body is considered as a theoretical context for thinking through the dispersed, disembodied and accelerated social conditioning of digital infrastructures.
