Tiktokization of life and the deserts of choreographic monoculture

Abstract

In this essay, the term choreography problematizes questions and challenges for the processes of subjectivation in contemporary times, which are placed before the monoculture project proposed by the algorithms. From the TikTok application, the text presents other historical captures of the body and dance, as well as possible ruptures and alliances. Choreographing the landscape from this device has been the experience of this generation Z, which, based on the screen/body relationship, sharing, algorithm and confinement, proposes another way of being/being alive. It becomes important, then, to think about this techno-mediated bodily practice and the way in which choreography and the politics of life have come closer and closer.
