Mind Body Space, Susanna Recchia 04-05.02.08

How does the body act in space?
How does the space change around our body?
--> How does body and space work together?

We spent two days doing different physical exercises using our bodies and all of our senses.
A way of getting in contact with your body, internal and external.
A way of getting in contact with the other people and bodies in the same space.

This picture for me represents on of the exercises where your personal sphere were entered and mixed with others. Eyes closed all of us moved around slowly in a defined area. You became very aware of both how you moved your own body but also how others moved around you and how you stared to move and work with one another without really knowing it.
For me it was a difficult experience. I like my personal space very much and didn’t appreciate other people constantly intruding during this exercise.


For me the most interesting exercise during these two days was when a number of persons quickly had to enter the defined space and stand in a way so that it related to one another. Interesting both how people reacted but also how the space became very different with different constellations. For example how the group could take charge of the space by taking a strong position in the middle as a unity or how the space almost took charge of the group if they spread out sticking to the borders.
