Movement Architecture

& Cognitive Automation

in Urban settings

A SOMAnatomics_

Human Movement Architecture project

​

A series of outdoor pop up performances in urban public settings

where usually human movement is restricted to sitting, walking & standing.

​

What happens if on your daily route to work

you encounter a body that moves out of the ordinary?

What do you consider ordinary movement behaviour in a public space?

​

How does this unexpected movement challenge your automation  and habitual patterns ?

How do you react, what is the reason you react and how does that translate in your body and in your movements!

​

Do you know that for reasons of time and efficiency your mind has create a limited-yet- functional movement vocabulary to navigate you around?

​

Would you even notice if someone was moving out of the ordinary?

​

 

To raise questions such as this, and possibly

to answer some, this project begun.

​

​

This research was presented and workshops about it were given at Movementis, a movement and cognition conference that took place in Harvard School of Medicine, MA, USA in July 2018,  and at the 28th Annual Conference of the International Association for Dance, Medicine & Science , Helsinki, Finland in October 2018.
