Using the choreography from “from rock to rock...aka how magnolia was taken for granite” we will explore the Milly Rock - a dance move tethered to a hiphop song of the same name by an artist named 2 Milly. Oscillating between a condensed but rigorous physical research of the Milly Rock and discussing an entangled line of ethical, epistemological, pedagogical and philosophical questions that will accompany and inform our research, we will attempt to access a latent lyricism and virtuosic freedom found in this “viral dance move.” — Jeremy Nedd
