Vanishing is a dance piece featuring the possibility of a choreographic structure of non-defined and non-classified transition spaces—from the daily cycle of dawn-nightfall to the transient spaces in between the perceptions of what is seen and who sees it. Between visibility and invisibility, virtuous and insignificant choreographed movement, presence and absence, seeing and un-seeing, there is the development of a set of ‘vanishing acts’ as representative of the ephemerality of dancing bodies. From the experience of participating in the creation process as a researcher, I present here some concepts that helped me navigate the process, from the first ideas to the public presentation.
