  • Summary

  • Conversations on Social Choreography is an oral history of Social Choreography, presented by the Laboratory for Social Choreography at the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University. Social Choreography is many things, among them a genre of engaged performance that uses bodies together in space to create new knowledge, as well as way of expanding the social dimension of performance into a form of pedagogy and social action.The Laboratory for Social Choreography focuses on the equitable transformation of social structures and the articulation of new modes of governance through aesthetics. Founded in 2020, the Laboratory for Social Choreography (director, Michael Kliën) is concerned with experiences and conditions that overhaul fundamental assumptions about mind, body, society and environment. In doing so, the Laboratory brings together individuals from diverse disciplines and backgrounds to envision human relations that can meaningfully respond to the challenges of our times. Furthermore, the laboratory is a hub for the research and development of embodied pedagogies and experimentalist social technologies. The Laboratory for Social Choreography is part of the Kenan Insitute of Ethics at Duke University (NC, USA) and supported by the Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University, Duke Arts and Duke Dance.
