Every Room A Dance: A Research in Spatial Relations of Movement and Representation Techniques

EVERY ROOM A DANCE

A Research in Spatial Relations of Movement and Representation Techniques

THE PROCESS:

• perform an improvised dance in an unconventional space.

i.e. quarantined space • film the dance • record journal entry after movement improv, commenting on movement inspirations occurring during stream of consciousness movement i.e. shapes, patterns, feelings, etc.

• explore digital mapping techniques

THE PREMISE:

• explore how space influences creative movement practices • investigate hybrid representational techniques for mapping movement
