Body Symphony

The book is a study about the relations between sound and movement from the aspect of contemporary dance. The study has included both theoretical and practical work. The theoretical part is framed according to the interests of the creative work. The creation under the topic Body as an orchestra has mainly been done during 2015 in Anton Bruckner Privat Universität, Linz. The artists who have taken part to the creation are Annette Lopez Leal (concept, choreography), Anni Taskula (concept, performance), Ektoras Tartanis (conducting, performance), Florian Giesa (cello, performance) and Enyer Ruiz Ramonis (dance, performance). The book is divided into two sections: the first section is presenting six choreographers who each of them have influenced the creation or the creators on some level and the second section is presenting the actual creation phase through research questions, used exercises and outcomes. Those six choreographers represent certain aspects of the sound-movement relation from different eras of dance history and therefore the reader can draw a basic structure of the developments of the sound-movement relations of the presented field.
