What we are talking about when we talk about videodance?

The article analyses videodance language questioning on the proper methodologies to adopt in order to support an interdisciplinary theoretical research on this performative practice. According to that, it explores the concept of “choreographic object” (William Forsythe, 2008) as an approach to investigate from a choreological perspective videodance works meant as highly sensorial art form. Indeed, talking about videodance means to investigate a hybrid practice (Kappenberg, 2015) established on the poetic counterpoint between two forms of movement expression: on the one hand, the cinematographic poetic; and on the other, the choreographic thinking. In these terms, the essay draws the attention on what choreography is or might be in a videodance performance, and why it is important to analyse the plural authoriality on which this artistic practice is based.
