How to move away from pre-choreographed environments and compose our own choreographies? *

Choreographing Design | Designing Choreographies is an ongoing research project which started while investigating diverse scores & scripts respectively from post-modern choreographers and designers, leading to a series of web coding experiments on how choreographic and performative qualities could be implemented and explored in design — and what powers of invention or transformation it sets free.

The project has been evolving into different formats from live performances coding demonstrations of this methodology; to a series of workshops and continuous investigations on diverse choreographic genres: Eshkol Wachman Movement Notation , Tango and Butoh (comming soon)

Joana Chicau's project has been exhibited and presented in international events and residencies.

(*) Choreographic thinking = a space & time which manifests discursive conditions; a meta-liguistic platform for thinking movement and counter-movement; a way to reflect on the tools and processes in design and to question the role of aesthetic, political, economic, socio-cultural decisions in the construction of digital media spaces.
