In recent years the notion practice has frequently occurred within the fields of dance and choreography. Especially so in regards to methods of productions or routines that are developed and/or sustained through continuity, that supports and or generates the artistic work. A practice can be rooted in everyday routines, a specific idea, a problem or the repetition of certain actions. Through practice we get insight into the artists field of interest, what working methods that they use or what kind of knowledge dance and choreography can be. Practice sharing gives the possibility for a common knowledge production, where doing and thinking entwine.
