Kinetographies. The notion of kinetography – as an academic term of dance 
science – describes the attempt of a choreographical fixation of movement 
of the body. In the plural form, kinetographies, however, alludes to the 
paradoxes inherent in the desire to arrest the ever-fleeting notion of 
movement. The notion of kinetographies also encompasses other 
"movement-writings" as well as recording systems of mobilities and 
dynamics. By reducing the notion into its elements – movement and writing – 
the focal points of contemporary artistic, analytic, and theoretical 
concepts are brought into view. And a re-construction, or re-montage, of 
the terminological halves sets this polarity again into movement.
