Told from the perspective of the dancers, »Processing Choreography: Thinking with William Forsythe's Duo« is an ethnography that reconstructs the dancers' activity within William Forsythe's Duo project. The book is written legibly for readers in dance studies, the social sciences, and dance practice. Considering how the choreography of Duo emerged through practice and changed over two decades of history (1996-2018), Elizabeth Waterhouse offers a nuanced picture of creative cooperation and institutionalized process. She presents a compelling vision of choreography as a nexus of people, im/material practices, contexts, and relations. As a former Forsythe dancer herself, the author provides novel insights into this choreographic community.
Elizabeth Waterhouse, born in 1979, is a postdoc at the Institute of Theatre Studies at the University of Bern. She received her doctoral degree in dance studies from the Graduate School of the Arts at the University of Bern/Bern University of the Arts (HKB). Recently she was director of the project "Motion Together" at the Free University of Berlin. Waterhouse danced for nearly a decade in Ballett Frankfurt/The Forsythe Company. Her activities range from research of dance practice and documentation, to artistic projects developed collaboratively in the mediums of dance, music, design, and visual art.
