For the first project (Body in Motion), we will work in teams of two. Each team member must identify a movement, either a specific one as learned in sports or dance, or a non-sports related one. In either case, research the specific movement and describe it in a one-paragraph essay using technical terms of the various movements.  Then, recreate the movement with your own body.  Ask your partner to shoot a photographic sequence (b&w) which you choreograph and direct with a minimum of ten frames to capture the procession and range of your motions. Using the photographic study as a reference, begin to collect and analyze the data of the movement.

The drawings produced in project one (Body in motion) described a specific movement and captured its spatial and temporal qualities. Drawing upon this work, you will now being project two (City in Motion) and translate these spatiotemporal qualities into an inhabitable space, a place that will host a set of activities relating to the specific motion you have studied. Formulate a program plausibly as it relates to your movement and activity. How will the space promote, support, or enhance the activities associated with your program? Consider the dimensional properties of the activities and develop a specific understanding of the type of space(s) such an activity will necessitate.
