Abstract: Having just received the ADAD Trailblazer award acknowledging my choreography, I was asked to contribute to this 2008 Dance UK issue on Choreography. I wrote this article as an introduction to practice. In it I begin to discuss my interest in, and approach to the body in space. This was written before I started my PhD when I explored this further. My subsequent work, of course, is embedded in the geography of the body – the cartography of being in place.
