Dance and design: where the two meet

Through space and the body as a means, new ways of contemplating the subject have arisen in the principle components of dance: the writing (training), and the reading (representation). The purpose is to express something that is “human” that is dealt with from a technological perspective. The “human” is also based on the metaphor of a tree, and uses formal design elements like the number thirty-two. The circle is studied, as well as pre-Colombian parameters, and the colour that will set out a guide for the graphic creation generated by the movement of a dancer. The body as a means accurately seeks to record a visual writing that establishes its results in the study, and also to find the logic in the classical dancer’s technique. Space as a means offers a platform with an interaction system, which allows them to explore and understand how the visual result that they create is affected by two factors: a very slight change in movement and weight-shift in various areas of the body, and the time in which this change occurs.
