The two types of analyzed performances – dances of writing and lecture performances – enact heterogeneous knowledge production, in the form of verbal signification and non-verbal "traces" of the events constituting knowledge cultures. Artistic method is used to explore multidimensional effects of writing and their implications on theory and pedagogy. Common to Forsythe’s and Gomez Peña’s work is that the verbal and non-verbal elements jointly constitute temporary communities of all participants in the performances.
