Abstract

In this chapter I reflect on my career as a site dance researcher and consider processes of body-site entanglement and enmeshment central to this field of dance studies in which moving bodies engage with moving sites in non-theatre and non-studio settings. Drawing on my own practice-led research and academic writing alongside the work of others in the field I consider how this sub-field of dance studies has grown over the past twenty tears and reflect on key themes and practice-led methods such as site-scoping, movement generation, thematic and historical research, documentation and evaluation and participant / community engagement. The chapter will articulate my own methods and approaches to documenting practice-research conducted in situ and the application of theoretical and contextual research employed to articulate reflection and evaluation of practice drawn from an interdisciplinary framework spanning related fields of phenomenology, feminist new materialism, ecology and environmental humanities.
