M-Body Contemporary Dance -- Movimento Project VII

The Movimento Project, a local contemporary dance initiative, brings to stage their VII season concert, M-Body.

Intrigued by cognitive embodiment theory, which sees bodily experience in relation to environments as the basis for one’s unique view and response to the world, M-Body is a projective choreographic exploration of body experience, biography, world view and art. Embodiment happens at the intersection of the physical, emotional, mental, where what we are thinking, feeling and doing finds alignment. Is it a question, a possibility, a goal, a projection?

“M-Body” is a dance concert about roles, imaginings and the place that our bodily selves occupy in our existence: in our thinking, our identities, our behavior, our feelings, our social and cultural dialogues with the surrounding world. In a time of so many activities that promote bodily “absence” or denial, such as those that make use of all sorts of screens and virtual images, “M-Body” is a call to the importance of subjective bodily experience.
