The back and forth of no-how generating: An orientation to practising choreography and/as knowledge-generation.

This article focuses on the choreographic work and artistic doctoral research *No-How Generator*, which explores choreography as a site of embodied knowledge-generation. Central to this work is the choreographic material called back-and-forthing, a rhythmic, evolving movement that embodies an experiential mode of knowing termed "no-how"—a form of knowledge distinct from technical know-how, characterized by generative indeterminacy and embodied presence. The research situates this practice within a broader epistemological framework named Magic & Science, inspired by Aby Warburg’s concept that integrates subjective and objective ways of knowing, blending scientific and more-than-rational, intuitive modes of cognition. Influenced by choreographers Siobhan Davies and Deborah Hay, the work emphasizes choreography as a dynamic, lived process of discovery involving performers and audiences alike, where knowledge emerges through embodied engagement rather than fixed repetition.
