Dorsal Practices is a collaboration between choreographer Katrina Brown and writer-artist Emma Cocker, for exploring the notion of dorsality in relation to how we as moving bodies orientate to self, others, and world. How does the cultivation of a back-oriented awareness and attitude shape and inform our experience of being-in-the-world?
On this page, we gather recordings from a series of 'Dorsal Reading' practices undertaken over a two year period (from 2021 ongoing). These are improvisatory reading practices, where we are each reading live fragments from conversational transcripts generated in relation to the live and embodied experience of dorsal practising.
