Join us for dialogues between a choreographer, architect and historians to explore how our perception and comprehension of the world is shaped by the body and movement.
Through a pair of conversations we explore bodily experience – how our perception and comprehension of the world is developed through the body and movement. Bringing together varied knowledge and expertise in dance, architecture and urban space we explore new links between these disciplines and our experience.
Speakers include:
Dr Oliver Mould, Lecturer in Social and Cultural Geography at Royal Holloway University, author of the blog taCity, and Urban Subversion and the Creative City (forthcoming in April).
Sigrid de Jong, Lecturer in Architectural History and Theory at Leiden University and author of Rediscovering Architecture: Paestum in Eighteenth-Century Architectural Experience and Theory (2014).
