Midair is a practice-as-research enquiry alongside a film, installation, and zine. Together, these elements document the development, processes, and outcomes of Midair: The Intersection of Climbing and Dance. This research investigates how cross-disciplinary movement practices generate embodied knowledge, with particular attention to women’s embodied experiences within historically male-dominated environments. Through participatory workshops, observation, and reflection, the project examines how engaging with unfamiliar movement languages influences confidence, risk-taking, and spatial awareness. The findings suggest that the intersection of climbing and dance fosters new forms of embodied understanding while creating supportive environments in which women can renegotiate visibility, confidence, and spatial presence. The written component situates the project within relevant contexts and critically analyses insights emerging from the practice.
