Educational realism: Defining exopedagogy as the choreography of swarm intelligence

In this article, the authors utilize the philosophical methodology developed by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri to formulate a theory of educational realism. The goal is to posit an embodied form of education that emerges from within the movements of the multitude. The connection between multitudinous movement and education is the concept of choreography, which destabilizes habituated movements, unleashing creative alternatives. The paper concludes with several examples of choreography as an exopedagogy for cultivating embodied, swarm intelligence from the work of noted choreographer William Forsythe.
