choreograph.net is growing a community of knowledge about how we recognise, cultivate and negotiate a state of dance in human and other systems. This is instance 2.0 of choreograph.net, reconfigured as an online journal facilitating a community of practice around the Framemakers metaphor “choreography as an aesthetics of change”. Comprising articles by leading intellectuals, di- and triablogs between practitioners, and short-lived raw-thinking streams by artists, these writings will grow a body of knowledge on a multi/inter/infra-disciplinary pattern language.

We will proceed in a slow manner, paying attention to detail, and building carefully our knowledge-body. While the site at first look may seem bare, you will find that there is much to digest in the articles published, and we will post new material at a similar pace, every 3-4 weeks, allowing time for links and free associations to grow between the thoughts presented in these writings. New archive material will be posted with each new lead article, as further, deeper or related reading. You may respond to our work here, and to writers of articles, through the letters section, which we hope will become a lively zone of response, debate and development.

If you are interested in writing and ideas, with or without a background in dance and arts, we invite you to contact us, regardless of experience. We seek to foster an original writing style to articulate ideas about choreography as an aesthetics of change, and choreography as a supra-disciplinary pattern language. Special areas of interest include: ecological thinking/ecology of mind, pattern recognition, intuitive framing practices, aesthetics as an organising principle of consciousness, cybernetics and systems, epistemology, recursion, social choreography, new social, political performative formats, mind-body thinking, emergence, paradigm change.
