The form of possibilities : the body remembered and remembering in the built environment

I have used the imaginative process of Ideokinesis, as an embodied and performed methodology, where my work is in direct dialogue with a unique system of movement and postural training developed by Mabel Todd, Barbara Clark, and Lulu Sweigard. Its functioning is not with ‘actual’ movement but with virtual and imagined movement – it thus calls on memory and imagining. These processes have resulted in two outcomes: a sequence of narratives arranged as Acts of remembering – a saturation in words, images, and imaginings – and the creation of a theatrical performance, which engages with what language and ideas actually feel like. How they feel and how they look depend not only upon the nature of my own embodied experience but on the remanent embodied experiences of those who view the artefact.
