From our publication “Digital Research in Dance Studies: Emerging Trends in a Still-Emerging Field“, it values practice. “Dance scholars value physical practice, coupled with the difficulties of representing moving bodies on the printed page, has resulted in the emergence of writing styles that attempt to write from the body in crafting sensuous, visceral prose that tracks dynamism, rhythmic structure, and phrasing, the tickle of intimate vulnerability and the rush of collectivity, the tense stillness of breathless anticipation and the glorious tedium of unrelenting virtuosity–translating the viewer’s/author’s own bodily experiences into a new performance for readers.”
Practice and Experimentation can be linked to Lisa Spiro’s Values of DH. Experimentation demonstrates innovation in which new media and technologies are used for humantites-based research, teaching and intellectual engagement. Experimentation is meant to test ideas, create knowledge but also use traditional approaches to teaching and research.
