Space is imagined, traced, made and then reimagined. Space is made for its own sake (in many happenings: art, dance, architecture) but it is also made as consequence of something else intentional. Space is not air; it does not have the same mathematical equation as geometrical three dimensional volumes. Space is subjective, qualitative and poetic. It is collapsible, and poly-temporal. It is not an isolated quantitative volume. Space is not- until it is imagined by something which frames its existence. In dance space is and imagined, temporal, relative thing defined by a movement of the body to a body or the body to an object or the body to a wall or a floor or a ceiling or a sky or.... I speak of the body space. There are qualified spaces that do not include the interaction of the body. I speak, and am interested in the space we as bodies qualify. Body space.

Laban explores the "bubble" through and around each of us. The bubble, "Kinescope" travels with each of us, as an imagined-to-the eye body space. Poetically, this space embodies potential energy, to "extend" in any direction within our bodies physiological limits.
William Forsythe explores the concept of body space with his choreography technologies and notation.

Body-space exists in the condition of a dynamic body. The body must be dynamic to trace space. Dynamicism takes effort, and direction: vectors. The space traces co-exist with temperature traces, which I will explore in the dance documentation. The heat of the skin radiates in line with the space traces, and touches other surfaces. Then there is the breath, which is interesting in itself- because it is a body's way of staying alive (essence), and showing we are alive (performativity) through the heat exhaled from the lungs. These temperature breath traces co-exist with the space traces of the moving parts of the body. I am interested in these temperature traces, because they co-exist with the space traces and also because the breath traces is a fractal of the larger synchronized body function phenomenon.
