Place
Now we are going to consider the meaning of place as the foundation on which the projects are built. We are then back to the original philosophical question: what is place relative to space?Physical assignments amplify the condition of space. But we are now narrowing our focus to "what is the meaning of THIS place." The place that you have chosen, and why you have chosen it.

Choreography
I have been thinking about the direction of the class, and that the body exercises often may seem like they take the class in a different direction than some of the theoretical assignments. I am hoping that they just give you more tools to use when considering your final assignment. Rather than look for a linear coherence, I am hoping that inclusion of the body, improvisation and the physical act, will give you some inspiration.
