Abstract

I use the Deleuze and Guattari geo-philosophical “Plateau 11. 1837: Of the Refrain” to map the conditions of the emergence of a particular territorial refrain: a backflip. Using a research encounter that involved a cheerleading dance, I position the backflip as a refrain that draws from the rhythms of various milieus to mark a territory. I follow the backflip along a line of flight to describe its ontological force of creation and newness.
