    Abstract

    Entering B-girl Raygun contributes insights that deepen our understanding of women’s experiences in breaking. Building upon my previous research, it develops a new form of embodied knowledge that intervenes into the gendered hierarchies of breaking. It features a series of performances across a variety of women’s and opens competitions that are at each step judged by a panel of experts.

    Entering B-girl Raygun brings together creative process, practice-as-research, auto-ethnographic self-reflexivity, and a feminist perspective to broaden and open up the breaking dance floor for women’s engagement and expression. These embodied methodologies contribute to scholarship engaged with breaking and hip-hop research by expanding current forms of knowledge.

    This output is one of a portfolio of 13 performances verified by the Faculty of Arts Creative Works Subcommittee, 2021.
