Introduction | the-sense-of-place

This website was created as a part of a movement research which focuses on the ways of sensing, feeling, and exploring places. Which places?

The world as a place, continent as a place, country, region, city, district, home. Place of leisure and of work.

Private and public, social and cultural, urban and rural places.

Safe and dangerous places. Forgotten places and places under construction. Utopian, virtual and celestial places.

Body as a place.

In-between places.

What does it mean to "look what is around you", "acknowledge the environment" or "sense the surroundings" while dancing?

You will find here a score (MENU:SCORE) that has been practiced during the research as well as background information and inspirational sources. The score you can download and try yourself or in a group. It is a collage of various forms of exploring i have gathered from my teachers and people I have meet.

In the sections STUDIO/PARK/FOUNTAIN you can find video material recorded while doing the score as well as additional questions are there to bring the viewer or a doer to some kind living experience of the practice. Something to scan through following own interests.

The documented session took place in a different place - starting with a dance studio in HfMDK, moving into a park places in the very centre of the city Frankfurt.
