Abstract
In our contemporary highly
information-driven society, it is easy to lose the sense of body
and space. A lot of us spend time in cyberspace, where traditional
sense of body and space is lost. Yet, we still have a body, and
space inside our body and around us. Various tools to look at
space will be presented, such as the Laban method, ballet, baroque
dance, and contemporary dance. Participants are encouraged to use
their imagination, such as becoming a bird and perch on the Eiffel
Tower. Just as dreams connect differently from waking life,
movements and space connect differently. Even before the Dream
Ball, we can walk out of our dream as our dream characters.
