AB - This paper examined the concept of materiality in the context of new materialism and discussed an ontology of matter that moves beyond anthropocentrism. The paper then investigated how new materialist thinking is unfolding in 21st-century dance. It introduced the expanded concept of choreography that emerged after the 1990s, illustrating politically-engaged dance practices reconsidering corporeality, hybrid assemblages where bodies, nature, culture, and technology are entangled, and the co-creation relationships among bodies, animals, and humans. When the boundaries between human and non-human, body and matter blur, dance — which is traditionally grounded in anthropocentrism — may feel threatened in its established position. However, this study argued that just as new materialism offers a richer way of contemplating the human subject, new ontologies of dance can emerge by rethinking the body differently, which expands both its methodologies and practical scopes.
