Dance and architecture

PRESENTATION BY : AISWARYA . R

“MOVEMENT IS , SO TO SPEAK , LIVING ARCHITECTURE – LIVING IN THE SENSE OF CHANGING EMPLACEMENTS AS WELL AS CHANGING COHESION.THE ARCHITECTURE IS CREATED BY HUMAN MOVEMENTS AND IS MADE UP OF TRACING SHAPES IN SPACE.” -RUDOLF LABAN,CHOREUTICS

•DANCE AND ARCHITECTURE HAVE MUCH IN COMMON.•BOTH ARE CONCERNED WITH PRACTICES OF SPACE.•FOR A DANCER , ACT OF CHOREOGRAPHY AS A WRITING OF SPACE OCCURS THROUGH •UNFOLDING OF SPATIAL DIMENSIONS THROUGH GESTURE AND EMBODIED MOVEMENT.

•FOR ARCHITECT , SPACE IS THE MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH FORM EMERGES AND HABITAT IS CONSTRUCTED.FOR BOTH,FIRST SPACE WE EXPERIENCE IS THE SPACE OF THE BODY . -CAROL BROWN (CHOREOGRAPHER)

•SPACE LAYS DOWN THE LAW BECAUSE IT IMPLIES A CERTAIN ORDER.•SPACE COMMANDS BODIES , PRESCRIBING OR PROSCRIBING GESTURES , ROUTES ANDDISTANCES TO BE COVERED. -HENRY LEFEBVRE (THE PRODUCTION OF SPACE)
