as mode of politics ~ ‘how to organize a multitude’

as negotiation ~ balancing the tension btwn the concrete (material, embodiedness) and the abstract (signification, theoretical formulation of the actions being performed)

always corporeal, always social

choreopolice & choreopolitics (Andre Lepecki)

choreography

“as technology for inventing movements of freedom”

“as a planned, dissensual, and nonpoliced disposition of motions and bodies becomes the condition of possibility for the political to emerge”

Builds an argument on a question of translation, “sense” vs “meaning” of Arendt's’ statement “the meaning (sense) of politics is freedom”.

• “I propose the notion of the choreopolitical as the formation of collective plans emerging at the edges between open creativity, daring initiative, and a persistent — even stubborn — iteration of the desire to live away from policed conformity”
