Informal ChoreographySpaces of Moving Bodies Part 1, Diploma Thesis YR6 2011-2012
Thesis builds upon the theoretical context on Spaces of Moving Bodies. In an attempt to understand the spaces we inhabit my investigation focuses on the individual to understand how bodies occupy and produce spaces. Informal Choreography engages with themes of dance - writing and performing spaces through embodied movements - to draw on the discussions of 'the process of embodiment through which everyday life is experienced.' The project sets the foundation of how we understand and think of spaces, fundamentally questioning the potentialities of everyday spaces that we inhabit.

KID Y preparatory phase, frame 07 [In reference to Rudolf Laban's Bound flow and Free-flow] At the immediate point where he decides to attack, he addresses the target with his upper bodily posture, his arms swing back in preparation for the push, for forward momentum. This is free flow where the center of the body remains motionless when the limbs begin to move. The flow of movement is suddenly energetically released. Particularly the slashing or swinging of his arms, his upper extremities originate centrally in the trunk proceeding towards the shoulders, the upper parts of the arms, and ending in the forearms and hands. The very last point of this particular sequence of movement is his footstep where the flow of movement is hampered, bound flow. The pressing of his foot for the forward push starts at his foot, the action of pressing spreads inwards, first to the lower parts of his legs, then the thighs, the hip and finally to the center of the body and trunk.
