Posthuman thinking in 360° immersive dance practice.

This article examines how posthuman thinking informs 360° immersive dance-making practices, focusing on the interplay between the material body, mediated digital bodies, and nonhuman environments. It explores the concept of double embodiment—simultaneously being and seeing one’s body within immersive digital spaces—and how this experience generates allocentric perspectives and autoscopic phenomena that expand subjectivity beyond traditional humanist frameworks. Through site-specific improvisations captured and re-experienced via 360° technologies and head-mounted displays, the practice fosters a relational understanding of the body as fluid, interconnected with environment and technology, and challenges fixed boundaries between self and other. Drawing on posthumanist and phenomenological theories, particularly those of Braidotti, Deleuze, and Merleau-Ponty, the research highlights how immersive dance can cultivate new modes of embodiment, knowledge production, and ethical engagement with the nonhuman.
