Generating states: exploring the kinaesthetic and energetic relationship between the moving body-mind and environment, through the lens of a dancer, a choreographer and a performer: TerrainSkin Video

TerrainSkin:4DFlow is a three-hour durational response to a three-screen dance video installation, TerrainSkin, currently screening in the Dance Interactive Space in Firkin Crane, Cork. TerrainSkin explores the symbiotic relationship between body-mind and environment. This live response through the mediums of movement, video and visual art, allows insight into an evolving creative process, a process of becoming, a process of construction, a process of re-configuration, a process of transition from site-specific environments to a performance installation environment. This live response aims to dissolve the boundaries between performer and audience, through creating a shared immersive interactive space of heightened kinaesthetic and energetic awareness.
