Description

What does it feel like when your emotional side takes over your rationality? When you are triggered, intrusive thoughts try to break you. Simultaneously, your body is tense and your mind is limited with uncontrollable physical reactions.

Basic emotions are elicited by movement. Our body movements between emotions are intrinsically stored in our mind muscles. Mind and body affect one another; our physical movements are influenced by our mental status. Body language is an elementary way of communication and dance is the extension of expressing emotions and feelings physically.

This project visualises the relationship between body movement and emotions. The work is based on the conceptual dynamics of movement of Rudolf von Laban, the pioneer of expressionist dance.
