Rehearsing the social order

Social choreography offers a perspective of an aesthetic continuum between everyday movement and dance. And, according to Andrew Hewitt (Social Choreography: Ideology as Performance in Dance and Everyday Movement, 2005) it redefines ideology’s mode of operation as “aesthetic” and “performative.” Thus, we can observe how ideas governing the social order have changed in how they have choreographed us. The talk will trace the choreographic blueprints of social order in everyday life today.

Bojana Cvejić works in philosophy, dramaturgy and performance and dance studies. Among several books, she is author of Choreographing Problems (2015) and Toward a Transindividual Self (with Ana Vujanović, forthcoming). Cvejić is Professor of Dance Theory at KHIO Oslo National Academy of the Arts.
