Every joint of our body has its range of movement and there are countless combinations possible. The body possesses a great practical knowledge that goes way beyond what the mind’s consciousness is able to process. Our mind can concentrate only on a few things at one time while our body is able to combine a great amount of information in an ever changing, fluid sense of orientation, that can serve as a sensor for potential movement: physical intuition, creativity that comes into existence by purely physical circumstances, no thought is necessarily formed between the moment of ‘inspiration’ and the realisation of the movement. There will be an informal showing at the end.
