The article explores the collaborative project Dance as History, which examines the use of dance to convey embodied histories. It involves a course at the University of Chicago, rehearsals and performances with professional dancers, and the premiere of a choreographic work called Body Language. The conversation between dancer Meredith Dincolo and historian Tara Zahra discusses the challenges and overlaps between history and dance, as well as the changing perspectives on the body and physicality in academia and the dance field. The project emphasizes the importance of preserving and recording movement to bring historical significance to dance. It also discusses the evolution of dancers over time, the concept of collective muscle memory, and the ways in which dancers express themselves differently based on their training and generation. The text also touches on the significance of space and the physicality of writing history. Overall, it highlights the diverse perspectives and forms of knowledge that can be gained through dance and historical research. [Extracted from the article]
