In looking at the relationship between these things it is as much about knowing what they are – understanding similarities and differences – as not knowing. Most importantly, it is about observing.

Within studio research, the available sensorial feedback is altered with the use of goggles that simulate various limits in visual information. The dancers work with different types and degrees of occlusion, improvising and repeating known and learnt dance material. Alterations in effort within these variations are observed, as well as the perception of relative space in relationship to memory.
