ABSTRACT
This chapter presents poetic writing from two educational research projects. The first, How Much I Move, engages with participant experience of a series of workshops in inclusive dance education. The second, Unlacing our Sentences, explores forms of writing that might best enable practice-led research to translate to pages and is largely drawn from research with postgraduate dance students. How Much I Move was a practice-led research project that followed the experience of six participants in a series of 14 weekly dance workshops exploring different strategies for facilitating inclusive dance education. The chapter presents a series of poems reflecting a loose, playful, and experimental approach to writing in dance education and research. As a structure for teaching writing in tertiary dance education, Authentic Movement offers a safe space for students to move beyond their habitual movements to focus on the feeling of movement, speed, gravity, and space.
