Abstract
Acknowledging the practitioner-researcher model and collaboration inherent to twenty-first-century contemporary performance practices, this co- authored chapter is offered as an extension of an ongoing collaboration between two dance artists and a photographer working in outdoor performance under the project enter & inhabit. The writing process and resulting chapter moves between a reflection on process, a document of practice and a theorisation around live and digital composition, thus inviting a reconsideration of the relationship between the real and the virtual.
