Writing Rhythm: Movement as Method

Abstract

As choreographers, dancers, and researchers, the authors explain how choreography and self-reflective writing inform qualitative practices such as articulating the importance of the self as a place of discovery within the research process. The authors use choreography to explore dance as a place of inquiry and the body as a site for knowledge and to examine how this awareness influences their interpretation of educational research. They conclude by discussing the problems and possibilities of this artful approach to educational research.
