The unwell dancing body: Discourses of illness, disability and corporeality

这个项目将对残疾的社会模式的尖锐批评带入舞蹈实践，特别是关于慢性疾病。批判性地审视我自己在一系列基础背景下的经历——大学、无障碍舞蹈工作室、休闲芭蕾舞工作室和风湿病诊所——我质疑不健康的舞蹈身体是如何遭遇批判性话语和范式的，这些话语和范式是如何被限制和理解的。我认为，只有面对身体不适的特殊性，我们才能抵制心理上的排斥，并正确地将身体不适跳舞的意义理论化。

This project brings crip critiques of the social model of disability to dance practice, specifically with regard to chronic illness. Critically examining my own experience in a series of grounded contexts - the university, the accessible dance workshop, the recreational ballet studio, and the rheumatology clinic - I interrogate how the unwell dancing body encounters the critical discourses and paradigms by which it is circumscribed and understood. I argue that it is only by confronting the specificity of the unwell body that we can resist psychosocial disavowal and properly theorise what it means for an unwell body to dance.
