Polycentrism i samtida hip-hop : Sociopolitiska och estetiska rörelser i dans

This research examines the potential of polycentrism as artistic methods in contemporary hip-hop and as a socio-political movement in dance to luminate negotiations of relations, power and appropriation. The research questions are: 1. How can the concept of polycentrism as an aesthetic principle in the traditions of hip-hop be used to investigate and develop artistic methods in a contemporary dance context? 2. What scope for action and negotiation of power systems does polycentrism create in contemporary hip-hop? This artistic research is drawn upon Practice as Research with methods of freestyle/improvisation and interactive introspection. It also suggests polycentrism as a research method. The empirical material consists of the experiences of the eleven dance artists that participated in the study through five workshops that was documented via filming and writing. Artistic methods are presented as processes and ideas of polycentric movements inside and outside our bodies, always in relation. Secondly, the study suggests polycentrism with potential to circulate as sociopolitical movement through our bodies and create expanded crosscircular perspectives on aesthetics as multiple, relational centers in constant energy flow. The findings of this project can also be useful in education and teaching of dance.
