Dancing on Architecture

The body is the smallest unit of architecture — the measure by which an intimacy no wall alone can build.

This first field of research works at close, domestic range — the human scale of direct contact. Here architecture and dance share the same material: skin, weight, threshold, and grip.

The first exploration in this line is 1: Structure, a performative videodance piece that builds and measures the structure of a space still under construction, using the body as scaffolding, plumb line, and load.

Filmed inside an unfinished house, two bodies hang, balance and count the bays of a concrete frame before it becomes a home — turning the construction site itself into a temporary choreographic score.
