If “action painting” is produced by the dynamics of dripping, smearing, and sweeping brushstrokes of paint to reveal the complex character of abstract art, then “action drawing” would be something like juxtaposing lines, planes, volumes, typographical elements, photographs, and paper...

"Slat Dance" is a ballet conceived by Bauhaus artist Oskar Schlemmer in the 1920s. The main feature is a specific costume that connects poles to the body of the dancer in order to limit his movements, but also to underline the direction of the movements in space. In Schlemmer's research, the...
La Pantera Rosa no imita nada, no reproduce nada, pinta el mundo de su color, rosa sobre rosa, ese es su devenir-mundo para devenir imperceptible, asignificante, trazar su ruptura, su propia línea de fuga, llevar hasta el final su función aparalela.

In Benjamin Sack’s imagined environments, it’s not uncommon to find angular mazes resembling dystopian structures, buildings packed so closely together it’s difficult to distinguish one from the next, and labyrinthine walkways that spiral like fractals. Working in pen and ink, the artist (previously) draws intricate black-and-white metropolises that waver between organization and chaos: He plays with geometry, angles, and dimension to render perplexing maps teeming with both traditional architecture and surreal additions, like treble clefs, astral shapes, and dizzying line- and dot-work.

Dance is movement that is physical, cultural, social and psychological. It has always been an essential part of human life that is used to express meaning or to communicate a message. It is a part of celebrations and ceremonies and is a non-verbal expression that communicates with people. Dance as a discipline shares similar creative aspects with architecture. They both use and define space. Dance is movement of the human body through space over time and architectural spatial qualities are experienced by the human body through movement over time (Huang, 1991). “Time in dance establishes rhythm. Time in dance gives order to motion. Dance may be perceived as ephemeral at its time of performance, but it is through its making, conceptualization, process, medium, and product that it becomes temporal. Dance transcends time through experience and memory.” (Huang, 1991) “Time in architecture reveals spatial qualities. Time in architecture allows for generosity and growth. Architecture transcends time through the collection of memories that deposits itself in archetypal spaces.” (Huang, 1991) Although similar, dance and architecture seem to be in contrast with each other. Dance is about movement while architecture is more about being static. Dance has qualities of rhythm, dynamism, liveliness and can appeal to the emotional side of the observer. Both architecture and dance require movement, time and space (Huang, 1991). Both these disciplines have evolved over time and moved away from old concepts of space and form. Architecture now embraces dynamism and rhythm, while dance embraces the chaotic and the random (Christov-Bakargiev, 2013). By exploring how people move through the site over time and linking each space to the qualities associated with dance and also providing opportunities for different kinds of experiences will give a link between the two disciplines. Observing the creation of dance, and importing choreography into architecture allows for the creation of programme that, like dance, uses chance and unpredictability (Huang, 1991). This will allow the architecture to in-cooperate energy, intent, suspense and direction. ‘Architecture designed via space frees the building of formal considerations; it is through the negative element, the space, that the architectonic form becomes meaningful and defined (Chang, 1981). Dance can be private for the individual or can be done for an audience. Playing on the issues of transparency immerses the observer in the art of performance and these will be tested in the performing arts theatre and school. The project will explore informal performance spaces for the public. The performing arts theatre and school will provide an opportunity to employ spatial concepts used in dance to develop and design the architectural space. Through doing this, this can open a new dimension in architecture. This will in turn allow the performances to define the space. Elements of dance Rudolf von Laban was a very influential dance instructor and theorist of the twentieth century who believed that dance was not subordinate to music. He identified the principles inherent in movement which led to the development of a system known as the Laban Movement Analysis. He classified the characteristics of choreography into elements that can lend themselves to the process of designing buildings within their context. Elements such as shape, space, timing and dynamics can be played upon to open up the dialogue and breaking through traditional design process to provide richer experiences that enhance the performance. Shape is connected with how the body is flexible and responsive. It can be about straight, curved, jagged or angular lines. Levels, symmetry, asymmetry and scale are key concepts that will be incorporated in the design of the theatre and school. Space deals with the geometric forms of the body and these include horizontal and vertical patterns. Timing will be used to determine the rate at which people move through the site and the key experiences they will go through. Dynamics in dance is the quality of movement, uniqueness, richness and power. It brings together all the elements such as weight, time, space and flow to achieve it. The quality of the spaces in the theatre will play an important role and the transition between these spaces creating a unique experience in each space.
