This study proposes a reflection on the relations between body and writing in contemporary choreography from the critical developments suggested by the work of Spanish artist Juan Domínguez. The pieces All good spies are my age (2003) and The Application (2005) provide a spark to probe and question this equation, in order to express the density of this issue. The first chapter examines different records tied to the chorographical practice – drawings, instructions, scores, notations, and other related outlines – stressing the power of this poetic corpus besides their catalyst and mnemonic innate functions, and outlines the critical debate about the written word in contemporary art. The second chapter discusses the relation between chorographical practices and personal writing – conceived, in this context, as a set that includes diaries, autobiographical notes, letters, and other related narratives – scrutinizing how the everyday experience and artistic creation are mutually affected. The third chapter reviews some of the available approaches of the body within dance field, sciences, and recent philosophy, highlighting the emergence of a perspective able to grasp the intensive nature of the body and to consider writing as a sensitive practice.
