Rozruchy badawczo-artystyczne w sztukach performatywnych: zbliżenie na taniec, ruch i choreografię

The article addresses the issue of artistic research in the field of performing arts with a particular emphasis on movement, dance, and choreographic practices, set in the Polish context. The authors aim to identify and describe examples of artistic-research processes in the field defined above; to explore the specificity of AR practices and the contexts in which they are realised; to share tools, methods, and knowledge about them at the level of AR practices themselves and studies on AR. The paper is divided into 5 parts: 1) a definition of artistic research; 2) an auto-choreo-ethnographic reflection; 3) a spider-map of AR practices; 4) an in-depth analysis of three research-artistic processes (I: Przyszłość Materii (The Future of Matter) by Magdalena Ptasznik; II: Badanie/Produkcja (Research/Production) curated by Maria Stokłosa; III: a continuum of practices by Ania Nowak); 5) “interlacing” – a cross-sectional reflection. The structure of the narrative is based on two orders: a) a textual order – the main axis of the article; b) a graphic-mapping order – a complementary collection of visual-textual materials presented on the Research Catalogue platform.
