Abstract

Interdisciplinary creative practice in the arts provides a fertile context for innovation and research. By crossing disciplinary boundaries and engaging in collaboration with other artists, dancers have developed new genres, including film/ video/ digital dance for camera. I consider the creation of digital dance, drawing on a feminist and phenomenological perspective that emphasizes embodied experience. I am interested in exploring how digital dance making can be re-conceptualized from a dancer’s perspective, rather than from a film-maker’s perspective. Drawing on Rosenberg’s (2000) understanding of video/digital space as a site for dance, I explore the nature of lucid imagery and non-representational liminal imagery.
