Individual performance events, in contrast, are still more often celebrated on the grounds that they are too fleeting and ephemeral to be captured by the documentary mechanisms of academic research. After more than a decade of Practice as Research, Performance as Research, Artistic Research, and related concepts and coinages, there is still little consensus as to the basic methods or terms according to which such research should be framed, disseminated, and assessed. 1 This article offers a mode of analysis in which embodied practice is taken seriously as a way of knowing. It applies a rigorous epistemological framework to an 11-minute video document from 2011. 2 By analyzing the research content of that video in technical terms, I attempt to move the above-cited conversations forward in several ways: first, by emphasizing the validity of embodied research in contrast to less coherent notions of
