This Studies Project will explore the role of space and place in movement construction. Our focus will be on the in-between: the unique interactions of the inner and outer poles of experience. Our mental furniture and imagination affects how we understand the exterior and how we make movement. A layer of observation on space provides tools for improvisation and shows that our actions are, in fact, all creative inventions, but how? What are the similarities between virtual and kinesthetic space? The panelists and participants will investigate the space of dance in dialogue and action.

Reframing the Kinetic Experience of the Urban Environment – This Studies Project brings together four artists who have engaged the urban environment through dance. We’ll discuss the ways that each artist uses the context of city as material and metaphor for their work and how the moving body, in particular, can incorporate, appropriate, interpret and reframe the ecology, geography and geometry of the city.
