Dance and economics both depend on movement, of bodies and resources. This commonality sets the stage for interdisciplinary practice-as-research that creates new ways of thinking - and living - sustainable development. Specifically, the project develops a dialogue between dance, new economics and political philosophy to ask how embodied knowledge might help us rearticulate and practise value in ways that support a sustainable society. It troubles the link between economic growth and value, recognising that growth is increasingly unlikely to be decoupled from material resource use, given current trajectories of production and lack of meaningful governmental action (Jackson 2021). The research builds on ontological qualities of dance to develop embodied actions that experiment with dance's potential as a tool for economic degrowth (Kallis 2017; Hickel 2020) and for re-claiming the commons (Federici 2018), exploring how it might be possible to counter capitalism's unique ability to reproduce itself and engender compliance (Mau 2019). In arguing for the possibility of a danced economics, in which economic problems are actualised and visualised in movement, the project aligns with Martin's (1998: 3) claim that dance can address gaps between theory and action because its normative condition is movement.The research operates in the 'breach' between disciplines (Massumi and Manning 2014), employing movement improvisation and interdisciplinary dialogue as key components of a cyclical methodology: solo practice engages with concepts to develop questions and tasks which feed into group movement explorations, dialogue with theorists, and public workshops including movement and dialogue, which in turn progress the research. The project proposes artistic-political practice and performance outputs, spearheading an interdisciplinary field between dance and political economy. Hence the research has the potential to create new, sustainable directions for the field of dance as well, arguing for the relevance of embodied knowledge for economic, political and philosophical discourses on value.

舞蹈和经济学都依赖于身体和资源的运动。这种共性为跨学科的实践即研究奠定了基础，创造了新的思维方式和生活方式-可持续发展。具体来说，该项目在舞蹈、新经济学和政治哲学之间展开对话，探讨具体的知识如何帮助我们以支持可持续社会的方式重新表达和实践价值。它扰乱了经济增长与价值之间的联系，认识到鉴于目前的生产轨迹和缺乏有意义的政府行动，增长越来越不可能与物质资源使用脱钩（杰克逊，2021年）。该研究建立在舞蹈的本体论品质的基础上，以发展具体的行动，实验舞蹈作为经济衰退工具的潜力（Kallis 2017; Hickel 2020）和重新要求公地（Federici 2018），探索如何对抗资本主义的独特能力复制自己并产生顺从（Mau 2019）。在论证舞蹈经济学的可能性时，经济问题在运动中被现实化和可视化，该项目与马丁（1998：3）认为舞蹈可以解决理论和动作之间的差距，因为它的规范条件是运动。研究在学科之间的“突破”中运作（Meclii和曼宁2014），采用运动即兴和跨学科对话作为循环方法的关键组成部分：单独练习结合概念来开发问题和任务，这些问题和任务融入团体运动探索、与理论家的对话以及包括运动和对话在内的公共研讨会，这反过来又推动了研究的进展。该项目提出了艺术政治实践和表演产出，引领舞蹈和政治经济之间的跨学科领域。因此，这项研究也有可能为舞蹈领域创造新的、可持续的方向，为经济、政治和哲学价值话语的具体知识的相关性辩护。
