There are many ways to approach self-organizing or improvised choreography. In this artistic research the choreography is approached as a self-organizing system and investigated for the requirements that this kind of approach demands from the choreographic thinking and practice and the dancer's work to make the self-organization happen.
This dissertation will go through the following key concepts from art, scientific thinking and philosophy:
• choreography and choreographer
• composition, assemblage and agencement
• emergence
• systems theory
• situation
• embodied mind
• improvisation
• choreographic knowledge
This doctoral dissertation also contains thorough analysis of three performances and one workshop that were done during the years 2011-2017.
