Dynamic Cartography

<p><em>Dynamic Cartography</em> analyses the works of Rudolf Laban, Lawrence Halprin, Anne Bogart, Adolphe Appia, Cedric Price, Joan Littlewood, and HA(c)lio Oiticica. They are practitioners who have worked on different areas of enquiry from the existing relations between body and space through movement, events, or actions but whose work has never been presented from this perspective or in this context. The work and methodologies set up by these practitioners enable us to develop a practice-based exploration. Some of the experiments in the book <em>Micro-actions I</em> and <em>II </em> explore the presence of the body in the space. In <em>Kinetography I</em> and <em>II</em>, Labans dance notation system <em>kinetography </em> is used to create these dynamic cartographies. <em>Kinetography III</em> proposes the analysis of an urban public space through the transcription of the body movement contained on it. The series <em>Dynamic Cartographies I</em>,<em> II</em>,<em> </em>and <em>III</em> analyses movement in geometrically controlled spaces through the Viewpoints techniques by Anne Bogart. Finally, <em>Wooosh!</em> and <em>Trellick Tales</em> present two projects in which performance is applied in order to analyse and understand urban and architectural space.</p>
