Body and Milieu
Milieus are social arrangements, in which people move habitually or oddly. The body functions as mnemonic that informs us how we feel where: fitting or inappropriate, secure or insecure. In dance improvisation and somatic learning processes it is interesting to study such sense of familiarity/unfamiliarity with more and more differentiation, to eventually shift our perception and action. We will use the concept of milieu to improvise, reflect, dance, and discuss aspects of embodiment.
