ABSTRACT
The sharing of time and place among ‘unequal’ bodies raises questions that are not just physical or aesthetic but also ‘ethical’. This chapter interrogates the underlying skills that sustain the improvisers’ choice-making; how the capacity to feel that ‘something is wrong’ becomes one of our greatest assets. It teases out the difference between just moving and movements that are ‘just’ in the sense of being both exact and fair. There are examples of these ‘just movements’ in workshop and performance, contrasted with some examples of less just, dance practices.
