This paper describes a practice-led research workshop held at the 2009 Society for Dance History Scholars Annual Conference: Topographies: Sites, Bodies, Technologies. The workshop responded choreographically to geographer Nigel Thrift's 2007 challenge that non-representational theory is best interrogated through performative means. The workshop constituted an experiment in interweaving theory and practice in such a way as to give full value to both. The paper offers an introduction to the ideas underlying the experiments and an account of the movement activities developed to explore the theoretical concepts. A version f the paper is published in the journal Choreographic Practices (Intellect)
